Funds research on secure, zero-touch 6G security architecture — from GDPR/AI Act-compliant service platforms to automated threat response.
This topic is filed alongside eight sibling topics under the same call, HORIZON-JU-SNS-2025-01, all sharing the 18 September 2025 deadline in the Funding and Tenders Portal. The SNS JU expects one grant from this topic's own EUR 8,000,000 line, funded as a Research and Innovation Action; other topics under the same call range from other single EUR 8,000,000 awards up to a single EUR 15,000,000 gra…
This topic wants 6G security architecture that meets EU rules like GDPR, the Cyber Security Act and the AI Act across a full service continuum, secure and privacy-preserving multi-tenant platforms, and zero-touch security deployment for virtualised, distributed environments. Applicants can focus on one or more of several complementary areas, including full life-cycle service integration across multiple stakeholders.
