Slides from the other two events in this series
University of Bristol led event on 26 May: https://www.techuk.org/resource/slides-6g-technology-enablers-for-spectrum-energy-efficient-wireless-access.html
University of Surrey led event on 1 July: https://www.techuk.org/resource/slides-and-presentation-recordings-radio-access-network-techniques-for-6g.html
The three University-led events will help inform a number of recommendations to government, whilst also showcasing what relevant research is already being done in the UK.
The recommendations will be discussed at an open forum ahead of submission to government.
