The talk will address key concepts and emerging initiatives such as Open RAN\, CAMARA APIs\, and the Open Gateway initiati ve\, while connecting them to broader trends in network programmability\, multi-domain integration\, and the convergence of fixed\, mobile\, and sat ellite systems.\n\nTaking place during Professor Neto’s visit to Europe\ , the session will include a 45-minute technical presentation followed by a 15-minute Q&A with the local IEEE and academic communities. The discussi on will offer participants the opportunity to engage directly with current research.\n\nRegistration is mandatory for all participants so that the o rganization can properly plan logistics.
