The INSTINCT project is going to enable sustainable, interactive, immersive, and intelligent ‘beyond communications’ 6G connectivity with 13 partners from 5 different european countries. The project wants to achieve the development of three complementary but critical breakthrough technology pillars during its three-years duration:

• sensing-assisted communication technologies, thus allowing localization, tracking, mapping, monitoring, imaging, incident detection and semantics become integral parts of connectivity services (Pillar 1),
• intelligent surfaces, holographic radios and cell free systems, which offer wavefront engineering functionalities and tuneability of the wireless environment and can act as reconfigurable and intelligent sensors (Pillar 2), and
• Machine Learning techniques-based co-design of Sensing and Communications (Pillar 3)

These pillars will result in three demonstrators – two hardware and one software demonstrations for interactive, immersive and intelligent connectivity in 6G usage scenarios.
