Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU)

SNS Operations and Output optimisation

Funds one coordination project to run community-building, KPI tracking, dissemination and standardisation support across the whole SNS JU programme.

This is a single-stage Horizon Europe JU Coordination and Support Action, with one grant expected, capped at EUR 3,000,000 from an EUR 3,000,000 topic budget. A project duration of two years is expected. The maximum length for a full proposal is 50 pages for CSAs under the CSA Stream. Where a topic is flagged as subject to Article 22(5) of the Horizon Europe Regulation, participation is limited to…

This topic wants a Coordination and Support Action that keeps the SNS JU programme coherent across its three phases: monitoring project outcomes against programme-level KPIs and 6G Key Value Indicators, running community and working-group collaboration (including outreach to SMEs), organising flagship events such as the EuCNC & 6G Summit, and helping SNS projects contribute to international standards bodies like 3GPP, ITU and IEEE.
