The Academic Future Networks Strategy Group is responsible for coordinating academic activity and inputs across the telecoms sector, both at lower technical readiness levels and fundamental research areas.
Led by the University of Bristol, the group comprises established leading academic researchers from across the UK’s research ecosystem-including from research centres such as 6G Futures, 6G Innovation Centre, FONRC and EPSRC Future Telecoms Capabilities Hubs. It will also receive input from Early Career Research Fellows in the most exciting areas of telecoms innovation.
Group outputs are fed into the UKTIN Telecoms R&D Future Capability Strategic Leadership Forum.
