🚀 We have officially kicked off OPTIMUS-6G with a virtual meeting full of energy, collaboration, and motivation!
Our Project Coordinator, Dr Nikolaos Petroulakis (FORTH) presented the overall project vision and roadmap, setting the stage for the exciting work ahead. Consortium partners then introduced their respective work packages and Tasks, aligning our expertise and defining our collective objectives.

We were also pleased to welcome our Project Officer, Tambiama Madiega, who highlighted the role of OPTIMUS-6G within the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), providing valuable insights into the strategic vision and direction of Europe’s next-generation communication networks.

🌍 Zero travel emissions, maximum momentum. With our targets set and our collaboration underway, our European innovation journey has officially begun.

We’re already looking forward to our first in-person consortium meeting, which will take place this October at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) premises in Heraklion, Crete. It will be a great opportunity to strengthen our collaboration and continue driving the project forward.

Stay tuned as we share updates and milestones from our journey to help shape the future of 6G communications.

OPTIMUS-6G will hold its virtual kick-off meeting on 10 July 2026, bringing together the project partners for the first joint coordination session.

The meeting will provide the opportunity to introduce the consortium, discuss the project’s objectives, review the initial work plan, and align partners on the next steps. OPTIMUS-6G focuses on advancing 6G-enabled IoT networks for unlicensed spectrum operations across the computing continuum, combining multi-band communications, AI-driven orchestration, and network digital twin technologies.

The virtual kick-off will mark the beginning of the project’s collaborative activities toward the development and validation of the OPTIMUS-6G framework across industrial, healthcare, and campus network use cases.
