<div class="">Future Networks and Communications (FNC) research effort will help achieve a major promise of emerging technologies such as ubiquitous access to broadband, supporting vital applications in our daily lives such as health, energy consumption, environment
transport, entertainment or education. The scope of FNC is the development of energy-efficient future network infrastructures that support the convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous mobile, wired and wireless broadband network technologies as enablers
of the future Internet. This includes but is not limited to ubiquitous fast broadband access and ultra-high-speed end-to-end optical connectivity, supporting open services and innovative ambient applications. The scope also embraces novel and evolutionary
approaches to tackle network architectures, considering users and societal needs for success.</div>

<div class="">FNC 2023 will be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Known globally for its picturesque waterfalls on the Niagara River situated on the border of New York and Ontario. Niagara Falls is a very popular tourist destination that offers not only
breathtaking scenery, but also a range of attractions and activities, many of which are in close proximity to the conference venue. Enjoy a unique culinary experience in restaurants with a view of the falls, visit the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, take
a journey behind the falls, or experience a cruise tour to get closer than ever to the iconic Horseshoe Falls. Just 130km from Ontario’s capital city of Toronto, experiencing the charm of Niagara Falls makes it a destination you’ll want to visit again and
again. </div>
