About
In an era marked by global crises and geopolitical uncertainty, Europe must accelerate its path toward a digitally sovereign and climate-neutral future. As its global ICT market share declines, strengthening technological independence becomes urgent.
This project tackles the challenge with a holistic research approach—focusing on network resilience, energy efficiency, sustainability, high-performance connectivity, and cybersecurity. Seamless interconnection of digital systems is essential for future-proof communication infrastructures, especially in critical sectors such as energy. Resilient, scalable networks must be able to withstand failures and threats while integrating intelligent, context-aware services.
The SUSTAINET-advance project aims to improve the sustainability and resilience of 6G networks from RAN to core. It focuses on the interdependence between energy and communication networks, enhancing efficiency and connectivity through advanced monitoring and scalable solutions, leveraging trusted AI and zero-trust frameworks.
The SUSTAINET-guardian project strengthens resilience and security in hyperconnected, all-electric networks. It addresses challenges in AI, cybersecurity, and infrastructure to ensure efficient, robust, and secure digital systems, especially for critical infrastructures.
The SUSTAINET-innovate project develops frictionless, high-performance networks for advanced services and a secure, sustainable digital future. It focuses on immersive experiences, connecting the unconnected, and cognitive, context-aware networks supporting mission-critical and green digital services.
