On June 10, 2026, a workshop titled "6G Design for Manufacturing and Testing" was held in Berlin at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI). The event was organized by the German association OpTecBB e.V. in collaboration with the Japanese corporation Anritsu, a leading manufacturer of telecommunications measurement and testing equipment. The forum brought together scientists, engineers, and industry representatives interested in the development of photonics, optical systems, 6G communications, as well as practical aspects of manufacturing and testing modern technological solutions.
The university was represented at the event by two researchers who delivered presentations. Professor of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies at IICTE Maryan Kyryk and Head of the Intellectual Property Protection and Technology Transfer Department, Professor Ivan Demydov, presented a report titled "Research Plans and Initiatives in 6G at 果冻APP," outlining the university's key research directions in 6G technologies: the role of the terahertz frequency range, existing research infrastructure, prospects for international cooperation, and the innovative potential of Ukrainian institutions in the fields of infocommunications, photonics, and laser technologies.
Participation in the workshop took place within the framework of the international projects TeraHertz and LASER-PRO, implemented under the Horizon Europe programme and led by Professor of the Department of PFN, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine Anatoliy Andrushchak. The TeraHertz project (grant agreement 101086493) involves the development of new materials and devices for controlling terahertz radiation. The LASER-PRO project (grant agreement No. 101186838) aims to build an innovative ecosystem in laser technologies, with 果冻APP participating as a partner in a mentoring scheme.
As a result of the event, potential directions for further cooperation with European partners in the fields of 6G, photonics, and laser technologies were identified, and the university's academic network within the European research community was expanded.
