The 6G-Cloud project took part in SNS4SNS 2026, an international event dedicated to building an open software ecosystem for future connectivity and services. With a strong focus on collaboration between research, industry, standardisation bodies and open source communities, the event provided a key forum to discuss the technologies and frameworks shaping next-generation communication networks.

Ana Pereira, from Ubiwhere – a partner of the 6G-Cloud consortium – delivered a session entitled ‘From network digital twins to network of networks: enabling fully autonomous 6G systems’. The presentation explored how network digital twins can evolve towards interconnected networks of networks, supporting higher levels of autonomy, intelligence and scalability in future 6G systems. 

SNS4SNS 2026 featured a diverse programme of technical talks, panel discussions, interactive workshops and live demonstrations, addressing topics such as open source innovation, interoperability, standardisation and the long-term sustainability, security and resilience of communication infrastructures. These discussions aligned closely with 6G-Cloud’s vision of open, cloud-native and AI-driven network architectures across the computing continuum.

Participation in SNS4SNS 2026 reinforced 6G-Cloud’s active engagement with the wider smart networks and services community, providing an opportunity to share research outcomes, exchange knowledge with peers and contribute to the collaborative efforts shaping the future of 6G connectivity.
