Project events
5G-MoNArch had organised two events: in Turin on May 24th, 2019 and in Hamburg on June 5th, 2019, to provide a live experience of the two testbeds to the public, disseminate the project’s main conceptual results, and the results of the (simulation-based) technical verification and socio-economic validation of concepts.
Please have a look at our summary pages for the two events in Turin and Hamburg
