The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) are organizing the “ITU-ETSI Symposium on ICT Sustainability: Standards Driving Environmental Innovation”, which will take place from 11–12 December 2024, in ITU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
The objectives of the symposium include:
Informing participants about the latest standardisation activities for sustainable ICT.
Education on leveraging environmental sustainability standards to support policies and regulations related to ICT products, networks and services.
Showcasing cutting-edge innovations, case examples and research projects of ICT initiatives for sustainability.
Facilitating networking opportunities with experts, speakers, and stakeholders from various organizations.
On FRI 29-Nov-2024; 10:00 CET, the three Horizon Europe and 6G SNS projects 6G-SHINE, SUPERIOT and TERRAMETA will host a joint free webinar on a common topic: sustainable wireless design.

The three Horizon Europe and 6G SNS projects 6G-SHINE, SUPERIOT and TERRAMETA have teamed up to host a joint free webinar on a common topic: sustainable wireless design.
This c. 90 min webinar will cover several relevant topics, with an open discussion at the end of the session. If you would like to participate, please register on this link.
The agenda is as follows:
10:00 Welcome and introduction Gilberto Berardinelli, Aalborg University (6G-SHINE)
10:10 Sub-THz transceiver architecture power analysis for XR indoor gaming scenario Meng Li, imec (6G-SHINE)
10:30 Biased-FSK modulation for efficient SWIPT in sustainable IoT systems Yasser Qaragoez, KU Leuven (SUPERIOT)
10:50 Sustainability of reconfigurable intelligent surface based networks Luis Pessoa, INESC (TERRAMETA)
The theme for this global 5G and Beyond event will be focused on the academic and industry work that entails envisioning a highly sophisticated and interconnected digital ecosystem that transcends the capabilities of current networks.
SUPERIOT application video from Prof. Juha Häkkinen (University of Oulu). In this 2 min video, Prof. Juha Häkkinen shows a preliminary example of how SUPERIOT may be applied to track resources, staff or patients in a hospital environment, using visible light communications. This is just one of the applications to be explored within the project, which will also address smart tags for business scenarios and various potential applications in rural environments.
The 6th Workshop on Emerging Applications and Research in IoT and Human-Technology Convergence (WeaRIoT’2024) brings together international experts, researchers and practitioners, to present original work on various aspects related to the rapidly evolving intersection of Wearables, IoT, Human-Machine Convergence, and Human-Technology Interaction (HTI).
SUPERIOT researcher Konstantin Mikhaylov (University of Oulu) is a co-chair and the workshop is part of the project dissemination activities. Please get in touch if you would like to participate in this event.
Congratulations to SUPERIOT researcher Mohammad Khalili (University of Oulu) who has been selected as the winner of the Greenedge Challenge, project PS3 “Energy Efficient IoT Networks”!! This has been announced on the Greenedge website.
Mohammad has now been invited to attend the final Greenedge workshop (Croatia, 26-27 Sep-2024) to receive his award. A great result for Mohammad and for SUPERIOT, showing the importance and relevance of the project for sustainable IT technology research.
Emerging efforts towards the definition and initial steps towards the standardization of the next generation wireless networks aim to integrate terrestrial, aerial, and satellite systems to ensure a truly seamless, global coverage in a unified manner interms of terminal and overall end-user experience.Next generation networks will leverage advanced distributed intelligence, enabling real–time data processing and real–time decision-making, enhancingboth personal and industrialapplications.Sustainability is also at the forefront,with green technologies and energy-efficient protocols designed to minimize the environmental footprint in the era of climate crisis and net zero commitment across different industries. Consequently, a complex ecosystem of networks, interconnected applications,services, andphysical/virtualdevices, with ahighdegree of heterogeneity,emerges.This heterogeneity isenvisionedto betamed bynative network ML/Al solutions that must display significant levels ofautonomy interms of their operation as well as ensuring a safe, secure, and explainable operation.Together, these advancements in connectivity, intelligence, and sustainability will drive the future of communication, making next generation networks a truly transformative force in our interconnected world.
Under this theme, the 52nd Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) will take place at King’s College London, in London, UK from 10-12 September 2024.
