With in-person and online participation, the event featured sessions to define future directions, keynote talks on AI-driven 5G, national and international projects, roundtables with academia and industry, and live tech demos from SMARTNESS teams.

On April 22 and 23, the SMARTNESS Year 02 Bootcamp brought together participants in a hybrid format — online and on-site at UNICAMP — for practical sessions focused on networking technologies, AI/ML, and modern computing tools.

From April 7 to 11th, representatives of CPE Smartness visited Ericsson's headquarters in Stockholm to participate in a schedule of technical activities, knowledge exchange, and in-person discussions about the project's progress.
