6G-TERRAIN Showcased at Researchers’ Night 2026 in Patras
On 25 September 2026, 6G-TERRAIN was represented at Researchers’ Night 2026 through the participation of Doctoral Candidates Srushti Gangadhar Surpur (DC02) and Adnan Rawass (DC04) from ISI ATHENA. The event was organised by the University of Patras and held at the University of Patras Conference and Cultural Center.
Throughout the evening, the researchers engaged with young students, families, and members of the public, introducing them to the vision of 6G and future generations of wireless communications. Through interactive discussions, visitors had the opportunity to learn how next-generation connectivity technologies may influence the way people live, learn, work, and interact in the years ahead.
The event also provided an opportunity to present the objectives and ongoing research activities of the 6G-TERRAIN project. Visitors of all ages showed strong interest in the technologies and concepts underpinning future communication networks, resulting in valuable exchanges and discussions about the challenges and opportunities of next-generation connectivity.
One of the highlights of the evening was an interactive virtual reality demonstration based on Minecraft, which allowed participants to experience an immersive digital environment. The activity offered students and their families a practical and engaging introduction to advanced networking technologies and their potential applications.
Participation in Researchers’ Night 2026 reflects 6G-TERRAIN’s commitment to bringing research closer to society, fostering public awareness of emerging communication technologies, and inspiring future generations to explore careers in science, technology, and innovation.
