WWRF54-B6G: WWRF Meeting 54 - Beyond 6G: Resilience, Security and Sustainability Kingston University London London, UK, November 4-6, 2025

Beyond 6G?

As 6G continues to crystallise, promising extremely low latency, terabit-speed connectivity, and seamless integration of AI and digital twins, a new question emerges: What lies beyond? Will there be another Generation, and will it mark a paradigm shift in how we define connectivity, intelligence, and trust in our networks? With 6G poised to meet many societal and technological needs, what voids will remain, and what new research frontiers will open up? The 54th WWRF Meeting at Kingston University, London invites researchers, visionaries, and policy shapers from around the world to explore the boundaries of what’s next. This forum aims to discuss the layered complexities of future communication systems and spark cross-disciplinary research dialogue around emerging challenges. The meeting will serve as a discussion forum for research challenges that anticipate the needs of a hyperconnected, secure, intelligent, and sustainable digital future. Submit your work and join us for three days of research dialogue, and discovery. Whether you're questioning will there be another "G", envisioning post-6G architectures, or innovating to meet 2030+ societal challenges, this is where future research begins.
