The UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN) Future Networks Academic Strategy Group plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of telecommunications research in the UK.
As the digital landscape evolves, the UK is poised to strengthen its leadership in next-generation communication technologies, fostering innovation and economic growth while ensuring resilience and security in digital infrastructure.
This document serves as a strategic guide to identifying and prioritising promising research areas that will enable the UK to maintain and expand its global influence in telecommunications.
In our first whitepaper[1] the Group set out an overview and initial inventory of the UK's current academic-led Research, Innovation, and Development (R&I&D) landscape and ecosystem in future networks. We also compared this with the global R&I&D landscape, focusing primarily on Research and Innovation (R&I) aspects.
