Project description
On the pathway towards 6G
The European Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking is part of the EU's efforts to step up the green and digital transition. In line with its aim to ensure industrial leadership for Europe in 5G and 6G, the EU-funded 6G-SANDBOX project will develop a complete and modular facility for the European experimentation ecosystem. Since 6G requires a fresh design approach to the network architecture, the project will support the next-decade technology and research validation processes. It will introduce the concept of trial networks, which refers to fully configurable, manageable and controlled end-to-end networks, composed of both digital and physical nodes.
Objective
The 6G-SANDBOX project brings a complete and modular facility for the European experimentation ecosystem (in line and under the directions set by SNS JU), which is expected to support for the next decade technology and research validation processes needed in the pathway towards 6G. The target is at technologies and research advances, that span over the entire service provisioning chain, and refer to user/data, control and management planes. In this direction, 6G-SANDBOX introduces the concept of Trial Networks, which refers to fully configurable, manageable and controlled end-to-end networks, composed of both digital and physical nodes. The 6G-SANDBOX Trial Networks incorporate infrastructures distributed in EU (namely in Malaga, Athens, Berlin and Oulu) and offer to third parties (including experimenters from open calls) automated experimentation capabilities through a rich and extensible toolbox. Meant to create tangible and long-term impact, the 6G KPIs and KVIs that will be quantified with the facility, will be released to any interested party; while the set of developments and APIs that will be produced, will feed an open repository as an initial step to move the contributions and the lessons learned beyond the project boarders and define a European 6G library.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
