About this Workshop

This workshop is the second edition of a quite successful workshop at Globecom 2024,
It united two previous workshop initiatives into one new Globecom workshop series. In principle it combined the successful previous Globecom 2023 Workshop on
FutureG Experimental Test Platforms for Advanced Systems Implementation and Research supported by PAWR and SLICES RI initiatives with the Open Research Infrastructures and Toolkits – OpenRIT6G initiative, which was sparked by its opening workshop in Cape Town in March 2024, supported by the German 6G Platform, Open6GHub, PAWR, SLICES RI
and the IEEE Future Networks initiative.
