F2F Meeting

1.  (17/19 January 2024) First kick-off project meeting took place in France. Workpage leaders presented descriptions of their workpages and outlined their plans. The meeting aimed to initiate the project, establish objectives, and coordinate tasks. It facilitated collaboration, identified dependencies, and ensured alignment across workpages. 

2.  (29/31 May 2024) Second project meeting took place in Italy. Each workpage leader first highlights the task, shows the inputs they made by providing a presentation, and then makes a plan to show what to do next. By discussion, the progress/task on the project is being more clear.

3. (17/19 September 2024) Third project meeting took place in Aalborg, Denmark. The leaders of each WP summarized the progress and achievements of their work in the first half of the year and formulated the work plan for the second half. The overall progress of the project is going well, and the risks are under control.

4. (27/29 January 2025) The fourth project meeting took place in Grenoble, France. The leaders of each WP summarized the progress and achievements of their work in the last one year and made the work plan for the next year. The tasks organized last year have all been completed, including the deliverables of each WP and the establishment of the website. This year, the plan is to expand the dissemination activities of 6G-GOALS. 

5. (2/4 July 2025)  The 6G-GOALS Project held its fifth face-to-face meeting at the Politecnico di Bari, Italy, bringing together partners from leading research institutions and industry. Participants reviewed technical and management updates across Work Packages 1–7, assessed progress on key deliverables (including D1.2, D2.4, D2.5, D3.2, D4.1–D4.3, D5.1–D5.2, D6.1, D7.4), and planned contributions for Proof of Concepts (PoC1 & PoC2). The meeting also covered dissemination strategies, newsletters, and preparations for the First Period Review, fostering collaboration and setting the course for advancing AI-enabled, goal-oriented 6G networks. 

(1/2 October  2025)  The 6G-GOALS Project held its sixth face-to-face meeting at Imperial College London, UK. Partners are coming together to share updates on technical progress across work packages, align on preparations for the upcoming First Period Review, and exchange insights on goal-oriented AI, semantic communications, and other 6G enablers. The meeting also aims to strengthen collaboration towards impactful demonstrations and contributions to the evolving 6G ecosystem. It’s truly inspiring to witness the joint efforts of academia and industry driving forward innovation in AI-enabled learning and semantic communication networks. A heartfelt thank-you to all partners for their commitment, collaboration, and shared vision for the future of 6G!

(20/21 January 2026)  The 6G-GOALS Project held its seventh face-to-face meeting in Torino, Italy, bringing together partners from academia and industry for two intensive days of technical exchange, strategic alignment, and collaborative planning. The meeting covered progress updates across WP1–WP7, alignment on ongoing activities and upcoming deliverables, technical presentations on physical neural networks over wireless channels, AI-native semantic communications, and goal-oriented learning frameworks, as well as cross-WP discussions on quantitative targets, PoC alignment, and EuCNC 2026 preparation. The event further strengthened academia–industry interaction and reinforced the shared vision of building AI-enabled, semantic, and goal-oriented 6G networks. 

（20/21 January 2026)  The 6G-GOALS Project held its eighth face-to-face meeting in Rome, Italy, hosted by CNIT, bringing together partners from academia and industry for three productive days of technical exchange, strategic alignment, and collaborative planning. The meeting focused on preparations for EuCNC 2026, progress updates across ongoing project activities, alignment of partner contributions, and discussions on future project plans, priorities, and upcoming milestones. The event provided a valuable opportunity to review recent achievements, strengthen coordination within the consortium, and further consolidate the shared vision of developing AI-enabled, semantic, and goal-oriented 6G networks.
