| Acronym: OWIN6G |
| Main Objective: In the Optical and WIreless sensors Networks for 6G scenarios (OWIN6G) project, key industry and academic stakeholders are brought together with the aim of developing a structured European training programme (TP) in optical technologies to facilitate disruptive wireless sensor applications within sixth-generation (6G) networks. OWIN6G will be the first Doctoral Network dedicated to training new generation of early-stage researchers (i.e., doctoral candidates, DCs) in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for the Internet of Things/Internet of Everything as part of the 6G and beyond focusing on novel sensors, solar-cells for energy harvesting and optical detection, and hybrid RF-optical wireless technologies, and the application of machine learning to improve adoption, optimization, and security aspects in sensor networks. OWIN6G will contribute significantly to the fundamental scientific understanding, technical know-hows and innovation of the future hybrid RF/optical WSN through the collaborative research involving ten individual DCs projects addressing specific challenges and applications. OWIN6G will make significant contributions to the fundamental scientific understanding, technical know-how and innovation of the future hybrid optical/RF sensor network. In addition to technical TP through PhD courses, dedicated tutorials and workshops organized by the Doctoral Network, DCs will be offered complementary non-technical training activities, including entrepreneurship, authoring scientific papers/patents, dissemination, etc. Having industrial partners participate will further enhance DC's technological progress by focusing on standardization, commercialization, and handling of real-world projects in a real-world environment. |
