Game Changers for Sustainable Future Networks: Collaborative Research, Open Innovation, & Open Source

Synopsis

The 2023 IEEE Future Networks World Forum (FNWF'23) will continue the path set in 2018 by the IEEE 5G World Forum in bringing together experts from industry, academia, and research to exchange their vision as well as their achieved advances in the continuing evolution of network technology, including 5G, 6G, and other innovative cross-domain breakthroughs. This IEEE WIE Summit in FNWF'23, with the theme "Game Changers for Sustainable Future Networks: Collaborative Research, Open Innovation, & Open Source" in particular, looks forward to deliberating on the role of Open Forums in Future Networks, Sustainability as the core of future networks and the barriers and challenges for Collaborative Innovation and Research. We will have invited keynotes, call for proposals for "Pecha-Kucha" talks, and curated panel discussions. There will be a special focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
