Karlsruher Institute of Technology

KIT is “The Research University in the Helmholtz Association”. As one of the largest scientific institutions in Europe, the only German university of excellence with national large-scale-research combines a long university tradition with program-oriented cutting-edge research. The university world, whose roots go back to the year 1825, stands for the breadth of disciplines and knowledge, while the Helmholtz world is traditionally geared towards the major and pressing issues of society, science and business. More than 5,000 scientists work together at KIT on a broad disciplinary basis in the natural sciences, engineering, economics, humanities, and social sciences.

In the Open 6G Hub, KIT will deal with the following topics: Photonics & THz technology, HW/SW co-design, system design, signal processing and architectures, network connection, 6G-RAN, 26 GHz MIMO testbed, joint communication and sensing (JCAS), Semantic Communications & Flexible Coding, Privacy, IT and Network Security, Programmable Infrastructures, Energy Harvesting and Exposition.
