EuCNC & 6G Summit
We are proud to announce the presence of ETSI Open Source MANO (OSM) in the 2026 edition of EuCNC & 6G Summit, which took place in Málaga, ES from 2-5 June 2026.
Overview
The 2026 EuCNC & 6G Summit builds on putting together two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC (European Conference on Networks and Communications), supported by the European Commission, and the 6G Summit, originated from the 6G Flagship programme in Finland, one of the very first in its area. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) and the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP), and focuses on all aspects of telecommunications ranging from 5G deployment and mobile IoT to 6G exploration and future communications systems and networks, including experimentation and testbeds, and applications and services. It brings together cutting-edge research and world-renown industries and businesses, globally attracting in the last years more than 1000 delegates from more than 40 countries all over the world, to present and discuss the latest results, and an exhibition with more than 50 exhibitors, for demonstrating the technology developed in the area, namely within research projects from EU R&I programmes.
Retrospective & Resources
Conference, Booth, Demos !
Here are some highlights of the participation of Open Source MANO (OSM) :
✨ A Workshop (WS9): Bridging Research, Software and Standards towards AI-Native Networks ( Tuesday | 14:00–17:30) drived by Silvia Almagia (ETSI Director) and Luis Miguel Contreras Murillo (SDG TeraFlowSDN Vice-Chair, Telefónica). In this workshop Ricard Vilalta (SDG TeraFlowSNS Chair, CTTC) discussed the role of AI in the evolution of autonomous networks. His presentation highlighted key directions from the ETSI White Paper and explored how intelligence and AI-driven capabilities are being integrated into ETSI standardisation activities, enabling more adaptive, automated, and efficient network management across all ETSI SDGs.
✨ A Convened Session W9 on “6G Research into Standardisation: Maximising European Impact through Collaboration” in sala de Conferencias 1 (1.2) (Friday | 09:00-10:30). Where Silvia Almagia, ETSI director, presented an overview on ETSI Software Development Groups for bridging research into standards.
✨ A presence at the ETSI booth #87 throughout the week, showcasing related demos and cross-SDG demonstrations. related demos and cross-SDG demos.
Cross-SDG Lab Demo
We held a very sucessful demo to SNS-JU representatives, explaining our efforts to integrate all ETSI SDGs together.
The demo showcased the complete end-to-end deployment and orchestration workflow using ETSI OpenSourceMANO (OSM), demonstrating every step of the process and how OSM interacts with the different ETSI SDGs to enable an integrated end-to-end solution.
The video recording of the Cross SDGs Lab Joint Demo is made available here on our YouTube channel.
👏 A huge thank you to everyone involved in the ETSI Joint SDGs Demo and to the entire OpenSourceMANO team for their collaboration and valuable contributions.
