ABOUT THE WEB CONFERENCE

For more than two decades, the International World Wide Web (WWW) Conference has been the premier venue for researchers, academics, businesses, and standards bodies to come together and discuss latest updates and the future of the Web. Known earlier as the WWW conferences, the series will change title from 2018 to become The Web Conference.

In addition to the main conference research tracks, The Web Conference 2018 (formerly WWW2018), will include several alternate tracks and a series of collocated events. The Web Conference 2018 will offer the possibility to present, showcase and publish results and advances about Web related research and development.

INTERNATIONAL TRACK PANEL : NEXT GENERATION INTERNET

April 25, 2018
Room Rhône 4 – 11:00-12:20h   

NGI is a key priority in the EU H2020 work programme. This is to ensure that the immense potential of AI, of our digital connection with the physical world, our mediated experience of immersive environments, and future data networks connecting people and machines are used to empower EU citizens to steer their lives and contribute to inclusive and sustainable societies. The NGI initiative aims to keep the internet resources open and trustworthy. This effort engages all relevant stakeholders, from the public and private sectors to academia and civil society NGOs. The EC roadmap and four NGI project results are presented. Two panellists discuss the ethical values and the geopolitical context that waits a next generation of millennium internauts.
