This workshop continues the dialogue initiated at Sustainable Places 2024 on integrating environmental considerations into next generation mobile networks. Building on the momentum of the first edition and the jointly published open letter “Towards Sustainable 6G” in Open Research Europe, this session will bring together both returning and newly funded EU projects under the SNS JU and Horizon frameworks. The workshop will showcase recent progress in developing energy efficient 6G architectures, integrating renewable energy sources, advancing sustainable hardware, and refining life cycle assessment methodologies. New projects from the latest SNS JU calls will present their objectives and early insights, broadening the collective understanding of how 6G can support Europe’s Green Deal ambitions. Through interactive discussion and cross-project collaboration, the workshop will foster shared strategies and practical solutions for reducing the environmental footprint of future wireless networks, reinforcing the commitment to a greener digital transition.
