Business, Career & Funding

March 27, 2018

Let’s Speak… NGI – Next Generation Internet – Business, Career & Funding Opportunities, while developing a human-centric internet

A 1-day workshop, 27 March 2018


Purpose & Scope

NGI – Next Generation Internet is offering organisations, researchers and entrepreneurs across Europe a formidable chance: To build a Human Internet for a better future. This is a long-term goal, with funding opportunities that started in April 2018 with ICT-24, ICT-31 and continuing into FP9.

This 1-day workshop was about unlocking business, career, and funding opportunities for representatives from business, academia, and regulators, discussing social challenges and technical insights about the solutions that could be taken forward in the European calls for proposals, also as part of the so-called “smaller grants” envisaged by the NGI calls that closed in April 2018. NGI Champions (ECP, European Champions Panel) and Early Adopters will participate to debate and will continue to interact on the NGI open Consultation Platform available online at www.consultation.ngi.eu.

The dedicated channel on the Consultation Platform helped raise awareness of the opportunities for Research and Education; Start-ups and Culture to start creating momentum before the event: https://consultation.ngi.eu/taxonomy/term/116. To post on the channel you need to go through a quick registration process herehttps://consultation.ngi.eu/user/register.
