Aligning EU Expectations with Global R&D Trends: Opportunities and Recommendations Towards One 6G Standard

The SNS ICE project has contributed to this effort, ensuring that Europe’s technological advancements and policy frameworks contribute to and benefit from global 6G standardization efforts. Through its active participation in global discussions over the last two years, SNS ICE has ensured that the EU’s perspectives and regulatory frameworks are considered in shaping the technical and policy foundations of 6G. This policy brief summarises SNS ICE’s efforts to bridge the gap between European stakeholders and international organisations, facilitating engagement, knowledge exchange, and strategic collaborations. It also provides a set of tailored recommendations for relevant stakeholder groups to nurture the collaborative ecosystem established over the last years with the aim of further spearheading developments and collaboration between Europe and other global regions.
