The 6G-REFERENCE Partners Host the Project Virtual Pre-kick Off Meeting to Present their Work Packages

6G-REFERENCE, 6G Hardware Enablers for Cell Free Coherent Communications and Sensing, is an innovation and research project running for three years, until December 2026, funded by the Horizon Europe Program of the European Commission, and part of Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), that started in January 2024.

Formed by a joint collaboration of ten research and industry partners from eight European countries, the project pre-kick off meeting took place virtually on the 19th of January 2024, attended by a total of 24 participants from all the consortium partners.

The objective of the virtual pre-kick off meeting was to present the project objectives and management for the three upcoming years, with special attention to the tasks and duties of each of the 6G-REFERENCE Work Packages (WPs). Further discussions about the project challenges, action plans and demonstrators definitions also took place.

The session also served as an opportunity for partners to introduce and meet each other’s backgrounds and roles within the project to properly launch 6G-REFERENCE, envisioning a future where urban areas are equipped with sustainable solutions that can cope with the ever-increasing traffic demands and population densification, while providing disruptive capabilities like the materialization of the internet of sense.
