The 6G-REFERENCE project will participate in the EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026, taking place in Málaga, Spain, from 2 to 5 June 2026, contributing to discussions and technical sessions that are shaping the future of 6G networks in Europe.
The project partners will take part in two workshops, present a scientific paper, and contribute to the conference poster sessions, highlighting our ongoing research activities to improve coherent wireless communication and sensing beyond what is currently possible with 5G in urban areas.
6G-REFERENCE at the ISAC and Microelectronics Workshops
Second Workshop on Integrated Sensing and Communications Initiatives on the European Research Framework
On Tuesday 2 June, 6G-REFERENCE will contribute to the workshop “Second Workshop on Integrated Sensing and Communications Initiatives on the European Research Framework”, held from 09:00h to 12:30h in Sala de Conferencias 2 (2.2), on the first floor.
Marc Bauduin, Research Engineer at Imec, will participate in Panels 2 and 3, including the demo showcase session, where ongoing European ISAC research initiatives and experimental platforms will be discussed.
Panel 2 “Demonstrations and Trials” will start at 10:00h and Panel 3 “Architectural and Management Perspective”, at 11:00h.
Further information about the workshop is available on the official EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026 website.
Microelectronics and Photonics Hardware Challenges and Solutions towards 6G
Also on Tuesday 2 June, 6G-REFERENCE will participate in the workshop “Microelectronics and Photonics Hardware Challenges and Solutions towards 6G”, taking place from 09:00h to 12:30h in Sala 2 (first floor).
After the introductory keynote by Fredrik Tillman (Ericsson) “How Microelectronics Unleashes the Potential of 6G Systems”, Hua Wang, Full Professor at ETH Zürich will contribute to Session I – Enabling Hardware Technologies and Integration, to explain 6G-REFERENCE’s time-modulated arrays for multi-beam MIMO.
More information can be found on the EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026 page about this workshop.
Scientific Paper Presentation
On Wednesday 3 June, Robin Lohuis, PhD at the University of Twente, will present the scientific paper “Analysis of over-the-Air Frequency and Time Synchronization Requirements for Cooperative ISAC Radio Units with an RF Crystal Oscillator”.
The presentation will take place from 17:00h to 18:30h during Session PHY-2: ISAC, Radar and Localization, in Sala de Conferencias 2 (2.1), on the first floor.
Robin Lohuis will participate as the second speaker, as co-author of the paper drafted in collaboration with two more researchers from the University of Twente, Erwin Hardeveld and Eric Klumperink, our Technical Manager.
Additional details about the session are provided on the EuCNC & 6G Summit programme.
Poster Presentation
In addition, Zabdiel Brito-Brito, Researcher at CTTC, the organisation coordinating 6G-REFERENCE, will present the poster “Planar Low-Cost RF Sensor for Volatile Organic Compound Detection”.
By participating in the EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026, 6G-REFERENCE continues to strengthen collaboration with European research initiatives, while contributing to the development of innovative technologies for future 6G networks.
See you in Málaga!
