CONASENSE Cooperation Spheres

Collaboration

Cooperation spheres

Cooperation spheres are the regions where CONASENSE maintains structured collaboration with academic, industrial and institutional partners, supporting interdisciplinary 6G brainstorming and the exchange and transfer of knowledge.

Shared technical focus

Every sphere works on the same technical agenda, which maps onto the four CONASENSE workstreams and their cross-cutting themes.

Integrated 6G systemsCommunications, sensing and localisation.
Human-centricity
AI-enabled networkingLearning, automation and closed-loop control.
AI-native networking
Edge–Cloud orchestrationCompute–network co-design.
Edge-to-Cloud
Quantum technologiesIn particular quantum communications and the latest experimental advances.
