Advancing Research and Standardization Synergies in Emerging Technologies
por SNS CO-OP
In this episode, we will explore real experiences shared by our guests, the synergies between research and standardization, the barriers that still hold inclusive cooperation, and the pathways we can take together to align stakeholders and drive meaningful exchange. Whether you are a researcher, a policymaker, or simply curious about the telecom world and how it is built, you are in the right place! The podcast brings together a panel of the following experts: Hakima Chaouchi, Head of Digital Sovereignty at Institut Mines Telecom Albena Dimitrova Mihovska, Chief Technology Officer at SmartAvatar BV Prachi Sachdeva, Senior Consultant at Dutch Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) Susan Rea, Centre Director at Nimbus Centre MTU The podcast was moderated by SNS CO-OP partner Pooja Mohnani, Project Manager at Eurescom GmbH.
Recorded at the Techritory Forum 2025 in Riga, this podcast explores how Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) is evolving from lab proofs to real 6G deployments. ISAC aims to transform mobile networks into dual systems for communication and environmental sensing, enabling new applications in mobility, industry, and public safety. Experts from three SNS JU Stream B projects—Multi-X, iSEE-6G, and Hexa-X-II—joined by GSMA Intelligence, shared insights on field trials, unexpected technical challenges, and the road to standardization. Panellists Antonio de la Oliva, Andreas Gavrielides, Andreas Georgakopoulos, and Barbara Pareglio discussed interference management, AI-driven sensing, privacy regulation, and business models such as “sensing-as-a-service.” The session closed by linking current research to upcoming large-scale pilots under SNS Call 3 projects like 6G VERSUS and AMAZING 6G. The podcast was moderated by SNS CO-OP partner CTTC's Director of EU Programmes and Industrial Contracts, Carles Antón-Haro.
