Our Opportunities for Researchers


6G Research

Publications

We at 6G Flagship have granted public access to the scientific publications that our experts have produced since May 2018. With the open access and self-archived articles, we wish to share our research and validation results widely and raise discussion e.g. on key 6G technology components, business aspects and related regulations towards 2030.


Horizon europe

EU Projects

Horizon Europe is the EU’s leading research and innovation funding initiative, with a budget of €95.5 billion.

As pioneers in 6G research, our research teams support project innovation and effectiveness from concept to completion.

Check out our past and current EU-funded initiatives and contact us to learn about partnership opportunities in Horizon Europe!

6Gess

6G Enabling Sustainable Society

The 6G-enabled sustainable society (6GESS) programme capitalises on 6G Flagship’s technological expertise to develop the scientific framework for a data-driven, hyper-connected future society in which digital eHealth and future energy systems are intertwined. 6GESS will look into new technologies to help make healthcare and energy systems more democratic and efficient in the future. It will also help healthcare and energy providers and citizens become more involved in developing and using data-driven and digitised solutions.

6GESS is a collaborative endeavour of four faculties: Medicine, ITEE, Technology, and Oulu Business School. 6GESS works closely with the OuluHealth ecosystem, the Oulu University Hospital, and the Future Hospital 2030 project.
