About CONASENSE

Mission & Vision

CONASENSE is a global, volunteer-driven research initiative advancing interdisciplinary 6G innovation by integrating communications, navigation, sensing and services.

We operate as an open brainstorming and dissemination platform, connecting academia, industry and institutions worldwide to enable intelligent, human-centric and sustainable next-generation networks and services.

Our mission

To serve as a collaborative brainstorming and dissemination platform supporting the realisation of an interdisciplinary 6G ecosystem, advancing intelligent wireless systems that enable sustainable, trustworthy and socially beneficial services.

  • Advance intelligent 6G systems
  • Integrate communication, sensing and localisation
  • Promote human-centric, energy-aware design
  • Enable global collaboration

Our vision

A future where 6G networks operate as intelligent systems of systems, seamlessly combining communications, navigation and sensing while delivering sustainable, interoperable and socially impactful services.

  • Globally aligned interdisciplinary research
  • Use-case driven innovation
  • Sustainability and ethics by design
  • Clear paths from research to deployment

Guiding principles

Six principles shape everything we do, from the workstreams we run to the events and publications we organise.

1
Interdisciplinary by designCross-domain collaboration fuels innovation.
2
Human-centricTechnology serves people and society.
3
Sustainability-firstEnergy and environmental impact are considered by design.
4
Open collaborationA volunteer-driven, transparent community with open-access outputs.
5
Use-case focusedResearch guided by real-world needs and practical applications.
6
Standardisation awareConnecting science and research to deployment.

How we work

CONASENSE is a voluntary effort without dedicated funding, sustained through joint projects and the commitment of its members.

  • ~80members from academia, industry and institutions
  • 4interest-based workstreams
  • 2spheres of cooperation: India and Brazil
  • Open accesswhite papers, articles and books
Workstreams Edge-to-Cloud AI-native Networking Quantum Cybersecurity
Cross-cutting Sustainability & energy efficiency Human-centricity Experimentation

CONASENSE deliberately complements, rather than duplicates, initiatives such as 6G-IA and NetWorld Europe, offering a human-centric, interdisciplinary view of 6G.

Get involved

CONASENSE welcomes researchers, practitioners and partners interested in shaping the future of integrated communications, sensing and navigation.
