Multi-Agent Goal-oriented networking for Interpretable, Secure, and sustainable 6G​

The MAGIC-6G project pioneers an innovative Goal-oriented Networking (GoN) framework to redefine 6G communication systems by tightly integrating network intelligence with application goals through novel semantic representations and AI-native orchestration. Building upon emerging 6G architectural trends, MAGIC-6G introduces modular virtual Knowledge and Agent Layers that enable dynamic, distributed coordination among network nodes and application agents to support scalable, secure, and sustainable services across diverse verticals. By advancing multi-modal semantic representations, joint communication-computation-control (3C) optimisation, and rigorous integration of sustainability, safety, and security (3S), the project targets breakthrough performance in challenging use cases including environmental digital twins, autonomous industrial robots, and collaborative immersive XR education. With a strong, multidisciplinary European consortium spanning academia and industry, MAGIC-6G ensures impactful technological innovation, validated through realistic proof-of-concepts, and promotes rapid uptake by driving harmonised standardisation and equipping SMEs with modular building blocks for next-generation 6G services. The project aligns with EU strategic objectives to lead the global 6G evolution, foster digital sovereignty, and accelerate green and human-centric digital transformations.
