The overall research goal of SpecX is to provide a high-level research programme and doctoral training to 15 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in large-scale spectrum measurements, analyses, and applications in future telecom infrastructure. The goal is to create a research and innovation workforce with transferable and sustainable skills in applied mathematics, radio hardware, cellular infrastructure, edge computing, spectrum data collection, artificial intelligence, spectrum management methods, and business aspects to assess and analyse big spectrum data and provide innovative services. This goal will be achieved by a unique combination of local and networkwide research training designed to provide the DCs with the needed fundamental elements to conduct the research programme for measuring real spectrum data, analysing it, developing innovative methods, and inventing new valuable applications. Hands-on in-depth training will be strengthened with non-academic placements, as well as multidisciplinary, intersectoral, and international cooperation, to maximise the employability of DCs and the project’s impact in the short- and long-term.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101226491.
