On June 4, 2026, in Málaga, Spain, Prof. Carmen Mas Machuca gave the keynote “Planning and operating secure and resilient networks” at the 2026 EuCNC & 6G Summit. This international event focuses on all aspects of telecommunications, ranging from 5G deployment and mobile IoT to 6G exploration and future communications systems and networks, including experimentation, testbeds, applications, and services. In recent years, it has attracted more than 1,000 delegates from over 40 countries worldwide to present and discuss the latest results. It also features an exhibition with more than 50 exhibitors demonstrating technologies developed in the field, particularly within EU R&I research programmes.
