In which areas of the FNS program (program lines, work packages) are you active, and what is your contribution?

We are active in Work Package 4.4: HCA FNS. Our role is to establish a working group on behalf of all consortium members, define an action agenda, and help set up a network of learning communities (including subsidy applications). The action agenda must be implemented in collaboration with the learning communities.

Why are you participating in the FNS program?

  • Because we implement multiple HCAs and have extensive experience with these types of challenges.
  • Because this new technology (6G) requires new skills, new training programs, and creates new job roles.
  • Because we were invited to participate.
