6GNet 2022 Distinguished Expert Panel

Title: A roadmap towards sustainable and resilient 6G

Moderators: Marie-Hélène Hamon (Orange Innovation, France) & Mehdi Bennis (University of Oulu, Finland)

Abstract: 6G has been in active research phase for the past few years, with increasing activity on use cases, requirements and technical solutions. Several visions for 6G have stressed the importance that the design of a new generation should natively onboard values such as sustainability and resilience. This panel brings together speakers from academia and industry, representing different sectors, to discuss the status in the preparation of 6G and inherent challenges related to new design objectives, in particular sustainability and resilience.
