Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU)

Reliable Services Operation

Funds research on running dependable, multi-stakeholder 6G services with automated threat detection and self-healing infrastructure.

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 service-operation methods that work reliably across multiple stakeholders for complex, dynamic 6G services, plus automation and intelligence in security operations β€” end-to-end attack detection, self-healing and proactive defence, and a dedicated Cyber Threat Intelligence platform tailored to 6G. It also covers service technologies for time-sensitive, computationally intensive applications and low-overhead monitoring.
