The two projects H2020 EU-Japan ThoR (“ThoR: TeraHertz end-to-end wireless systems supporting ultra high data Rate applications”) and DFG FOR 2863 Meteracom (Metrology for Communications) - both of them coordinated by TU Braunschweig - will present their results in two co-located workshops on June 28-30 2022 as a hybrid event at TU Braunschweig. Both events will include invited speakers along with presentations from the projects. The ThoR workshop includes a live demo of a 300 GHz backhaul link between campus buildings as well as a social event.
