The three-year SNS stream B-01-02 project TERRAMETA focuses on THz reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) for ultra-high rate wireless communications and targets novel THz hardware development and testing (including CMOS/memristors/microfluidics switches and multi-functional metasurfaces (i.e., T-RIS, R-RIS, hybrid RISs with sensing capability, dynamic metasurface antennas and holographic MIMO)), as well as the development of relevant network architectures with realistic models, and novel signal processing techniques for RIS-empowered THz communications, localization, and sensing.

The kickoff meeting was in January 2023, at INESC TEC (Porto, Portugal).

Project partners: Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (PT), National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EL), University of Hertfordshire (UK), University of Oulu (FI), Instituto de Telecomunicações (PT), Intracom Telecom (EL), CEA-Leti (FR), University of Luxembourg (LU), Dell EMC Research (IE), Technische Universität Braunschweig (DE), ACST (DE), NOVA.ID.FCT (PT), British Telecommunications (UK).
