Introducing the new Thinknet 6G core team

28.10.2025

We are very pleased to announce an important change in the structure of the Thinknet 6G team:

Over the past five years, two external experts have supported us as chairmen of Thinknet 6G with their contributions and advice: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kellerer from the Technical University of Munich and Peter Merz, Head of Standardization at Nokia. We would like to sincerely thank Wolfgang and Peter for their commitment, foresight and inspiration in building Thinknet 6G from the ground up. Without Wolfgang and Peter, Thinknet 6G would never have become what it is today.

However, we are making an update to the team structure and are pleased to announce that we are expanding the role of the two chairs to a group of six experts who will form the new Thinknet 6G core team. The new core team consists of:
