Collaborations

Working across the 6G community

SNS JU project cluster

SHIELD‑6G cooperates with fellow projects funded under the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking, exchanging results on 6G security architectures, sharing validation experiences, and aligning contributions to the European 6G research agenda. Joint workshops and cross-project working groups help avoid duplication and amplify impact.

Standardisation bodies

Through its partners, the project engages with European and international standardisation activities relevant to 6G security. Findings from the project's research and validation work feed into technical contributions, supporting the development of open, interoperable, and trustworthy standards for next-generation networks.

Research and industry networks

The consortium maintains open channels with academic networks, industry associations, and cybersecurity communities across Europe. These collaborations broaden the reach of project results, create opportunities for joint dissemination, and connect SHIELD‑6G innovations with organisations that can adopt and build on them.
