Scope
We invite young scholars from around the world to showcase their creativity by producing a short video exploring 6G technologies and beyond. You can focus on any relevant area, including (but not limited to):
- Communication: Ultra-reliable low-latency links, terahertz spectrum, massive MIMO, or space-terrestrial integration.
- Localization & Sensing: High-precision positioning, environmental monitoring, or integrated sensing and communications.
- Navigation: Advanced mobility support for autonomous vehicles, drones, and future air mobility.
- Wireless Power Transfer: Energy delivery for IoT devices, wearables, or remote sensors.
Your video should respond to the following challenge questions:
- What will communication networks look like in 10–20 years?
- What futuristic applications and breakthroughs will they make possible?
- How will your vision positively impact society, industry, or the environment?
Think of this as an opportunity to blend scientific vision with storytelling, whether it is grounded in research, speculative design, or a mix of both. This competition is sponsored by the npj wireless technology journal
