This session explores human-centric requirements for 6G — social behaviour and sensing, trust, ethics, and health data protection. As networks rely more on contextual and health-related data, privacy, trustworthiness, and societal acceptance become essential. The session concludes with a panel discussion aligned with European values and SNS JU priorities.

Intended audience

• Researchers in 6G, sensing, context awareness, and human-centric design
• Industry professionals building future networks and digital health solutions
• Policy makers and program managers engaged in SNS JU and trustworthy AI
• Privacy, security, and ethics experts
• Graduate students and early-career researchers
