Málaga – Spain, June 2-5 2026
The MARE project, a flagship European initiative under the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU), successfully presented its latest advancements and activities in 6G security, with a project booth, workshops participation and poster presentation at the prestigious EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026 in Málaga.
As the 6G landscape evolves toward a “network of networks,” the MARE project aims at demonstrating how its novel and programmable Security Plane – presented at the booth with a poster, can be used to address the expanded attack surface of future 6G ecosystems.
MARE PoCs and Publications
At the booth, the 11 MARE Proof of Concepts were presented, with posters describing the scope of each one, and videos detailing their technical progress. The 9 MARE publications were also presented, each one with a poster describing the research carried out.
Further to these, the 1st MARE White paper – providing a good description of the project, was published during EuCNC.

Throughout the summit, MARE experts were present at the booth to provide more details about the project and highlight how its programmable, modular and disaggregated security plane can reinforce Europe’s leadership in trustworthy next-generation connectivity.
EuCNC Workshops and Poster Session
The MARE Technical coordinator – Xavi Masip from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, also represented the project at two key workshops of the conference:
- Workshop: Advancing Network Digital Twins (NDTs) for AI-driven 6G systems: Insights, applications, and cross-project synergies
Where he presented MARE’s key focus on “Using an NDT-based Sandbox for incidents and remediation actions analysis and pre-assessment” - Wokshop: Is there anything new on Security for 6G Networks?
Where he presented MARE’s innovative strategy of “Softwarizing security provisioning in 6G ecosystems”
In the Second Poster session on Thursday 4 June 2026, Marla Grunewald from Technische Univeristät Braunschweig, Germany, presented the poster entitled ”Enhancing Secure Intent-Based Networking with an Agentic AI: The EU Project MARE Approach”
This poster – along with its abstract, can be found with the other MARE posters published so far in the following link: https://mare6g.eu/posters/
MARE SNS Award!
A key highlight of MARE’s participation at 2026 EuCNC & 6G Summit was its recognition by the SNS JU and the award it received as one of 10 6G SNS Most inspiring 6G Use Cases.
With this award, we would like to thank the SNS JU and emphasize our commitment to developing our MARE research and innovations to the benefit of the European 6G SNS ecosystem and community.
