European leadership in the development of next-generation 6G mobile technologies is set to be boosted with the launch of a new €104 million call to support cutting-edge research and innovation in mobile networks.
The funding is managed by the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), the European public-private partnership working on the development of 5G and 6G technologies across Europe.
This €104 million call – the fourth managed by the SNS JU – will open on 22 May 2025, with participants able to submit proposals until 18 September 2025. It is the first call to open under the SNS JU Research & Innovation (R&I) 2025 work programme.
Erzsébet Fitori, Executive Director of the SNS JU said:
“This Work Programme represents a crucial step in Europe’s journey towards 6G leadership. By bringing together European vertical industries, academia, and research institutions, we’re not just developing technology – we’re building Europe’s digital future with a focus on sustainability, security, and societal impact.”
