DESCRIPTION:Webinar organized by the Satellite WG of IEEE Future Networks /
  INGR\n\n&quot;5G via Satellite for Humanitarian Response and Emergency Service
 s&quot;\n\nMay 14\, 2026\, 9:30 - 17:30 CEST\n\nThis webinar on &quot;5G via Satelli
 te for Humanitarian Response and Emergency Services&quot; brings together leadi
 ng experts from academia\, industry\, and public safety organizations to e
 xplore the role of next-generation communication technologies in disaster 
 response and crisis management. The event focuses on the integration of 5G
  terrestrial and satellite networks\, enabling resilient\, mission-critica
 l services for first responders and humanitarian operations. Topics includ
 e decision-support systems\, real-time data ecosystems\, non-terrestrial n
 etworks (NTN)\, and advanced communication infrastructures designed to ens
 ure continuity of operations in challenging and disrupted environments. Th
 rough keynote talks\, technical sessions\, and interactive discussions\, p
 articipants will gain insights into cutting-edge research\, real-world dep
 loyments\, and future directions toward robust\, globally connected emerge
 ncy communication systems. This webinar is organized by the 5G-HUB project
  (https://www.5g-hub.eu/)\, a Horizon Europe initiative that aims to advan
 ce the integration of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (5G-NTN) into the EU’s
  GOVSATCOM framework.\n\nFor more details\, please see the event webpage:
