4th International Conference on 6G Networking
2025-11-12 00:00 - 2025-11-14 23:59 | Valencia
On behalf of the 6GNet Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to warmly introduce you to The 4th International Conference on 6G Networking (6GNet 2025), that is taking place in Paris, France, on November 12 – 14, 2025.

Research on 6G is accelerating with multiple initiatives worldwide producing more proof-of-concepts and trials. Traffic forecasts are disrupted by two recent phenomena: the tremendous development of novel everyday services driven by Generative AI and at the same time, the recent efforts of large traffic generators such as video content providers to optimise video codecs and reduce traffic whilst protecting the end-to-end Quality of Experience (QoE). As a consequence, business-as-usual exponential traffic growths are challenged, and network traffic is unusually uncertain. Additionally, there is a growing concern to take into account the lessons learnt from 5G, which is still struggling to be monetized in many territories.

In such highly dynamic context, 6G networking is a tremendous opportunity to investigate and foster research in areas like network AI-driven traffic modelling, network for AI, network APIs for future services, the need for massive digital inclusion and stronger robustness against attacks of any kind, among other challenging topics like global network automation (AI for network), delivery and operation.

The 6GNet conference will bring together top-notch experts from academia and industry, including network operators, to stimulate discussions, introduce new ideas and thereby contribute to the progress of 6G networking research.

Interested authors are invited to submit papers presenting novel technical research.

We are looking forward for your contribution to a successful conference on the 6G fields!

Open Lecture 11 — Non-Terrestrial Networks for 6G: Toward Seamless Network Convergence
2026-01-22 14:00 - 18:00 | Valencia
The one6G Open Lectures are coming back! After a short break, the one6G Association is delighted to announce that Open Lecture 11 will take place on January 22, 2026, at 14h00 CET, focusing on one of the most transformative areas of 6G research: Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) and their role in achieving seamless network convergence.

Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) refer to radio access networks where the access nodes are carried on platforms hovering high above the terrestrial surface – in the air or in space – including high-altitude platforms (HAPs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and satellites. While 5G New Radio (NR) was originally designed as a terrestrial network (TN), it has since been extended to support NTN components, expanding coverage for its main services and enabling communication through any network node via the same end device.

The vision for 6G goes far beyond this extension. It envisages a full integration of NTN and TN at the network infrastructure level, leading to true network convergence. In this future, all radio services could be delivered seamlessly through any node (terrestrial or non-terrestrial) and completely transparent to the user. This paradigm promises to finally realize the longstanding goal of ubiquitous, resilient, and borderless connectivity, ensuring service continuity anytime and everywhere – a promise of mobile radio given ever since its previous generations.

Moderated by Dr. Malte Schellmann, Principal Research Engineer at Huawei Technologies German Research Center, one6G Open Lecture 11 will explore the technological, architectural, and regulatory aspects of NTN/TN convergence, its challenges, and its potential to close global coverage gaps. The event will feature four distinguished speakers who will share insights into the latest research directions, use cases, and standardization activities paving the way toward fully integrated 6G networks. Among the speakers will be two 6G-NTN project partners, Alessandro Vanelli-Coralli (UNIBO) and Miguel Ángel Vázquez (CTTC).

Join the lecture on January 22, 2026, at 2 p.m. CET to discover how 6G is extending connectivity beyond the Earth’s surface!
