Brief description
The SNS OPS project supports the Smart Networks Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) operations to facilitate the activities of the European SNS Initiative, as outlined in the SNS contractual EU Partnership. This includes:
- Support for the European Partnership for SNS and the related organisation through cross-SNS projects coordination.
- Organisation of the SNS as a coherent programme with clear links to the 6G Infrastructure Association and the EC via the partnership board and the JU Office and their strategic policies.
- Maximised output and exploitation of SNS projects results in key domains (e.g., standardisation, spectrum) through managed cooperation between projects on horizontal issues.
- Inter-JU coordination and joint actions.
SNS OPS also orchestrates and organises strategic activities to capture and promote the European view on 6G, the achievements of the 6G SNS and will start the process of monitoring the development and impact of these results on the evolution of 6G in Europe over the period of life of the 6G SNS initiative.
This work will also look to the future and consider what additional actions are necessary to maintain the European momentum and leadership in 6G and facilitate the uptake of 6G by the European vertical sectors.
During the life SNS OPS, the SNS JU will be launching and expanding its first phase activities and preparing for subsequent phases.
