The major objective and responsibility of the  5G-Vision work group of the 5G-Infrastructure-Association is to create road maps showing where we want to be with 5G by 2020 and how we can get there, and to use this to give direction to the European 5G initiative and specifically the 5G-PPP.

The major objective and responsibility of the  Networld2020 Expert Advisory Group is to consult and give advice to NetWorld2020 community from the scientific perspective and to advocate for the interests of the research community. Therefore this group should mainly represent R&D centres and the academic domain. However, representatives from other stakeholder groups are also welcome to contribute. The composition of the group is renewed for each new election period of the Networld2020 community.
