Holger Boche has been invited to participate as a panelist in the Falling Walls Circle Background Table discussion “Trust in 5G/6G” in Berlin, Germany on November 8, 2021
About the Falling Walls Circle
The Falling Walls Circle foresees the quantum leaps in research and development needed to find answers to the world’s most pressing challenges. At this 1-day event, global leaders in research, business, policy-making and media will debate solutions from science to some of society’s largest issues in this decade, and how the necessary innovative breakthroughs could be evoked through a common strategy on the future of science.
About the Background Table
As 5G networks are advancing, the next generation of 6G networks is being created, promising to connect people in ways previously impossible, and to further change the interaction between humans and technology. Yet, the establishment and success of 5G and 6G networks inevitably depends on the trust of consumers in those technologies. The Background Table will give the participants the chance to discuss whether or not 5G and 6G can be trusted, how trust in 5G and 6G networks can be built, and which challenges and opportunities a shift towards 6G can pose.
The Falling Walls Background Table is an invitation-only format which offers experts from different fields of expertise a chance to exchange their insights and perspective on a topic in a closed and informal space. The discussion is based on input kindly provided by Prof. Gerhard Fettweis, Technische Universität Dresden. For the discussion, Chatham House Rule will apply. The Background Table will consist of five to six participants who will be able to discuss the topic “Trust in 5G/6G” in an informal setting.
About the Falling Walls Science Summit
The Circle is a part of the larger Falling Walls Science Summit. In commemoration of the peaceful fall of the Berlin Wall, it has evolved over the years into a global forum for leading researchers and thinkers to discuss breakthroughs with leaders in science, politics, and business. Each year on 9 November in Berlin, we tackle the core question: “Which are the next walls to fall in science and society?“
