SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ 4YFN
DESCRIPTION:The past\, present and future of (y)our internet\nTarget participants: Millennials (1980-2000)\nDo you remember the first time you went on the internet? The (open) chat rooms and the pixeled snake? Past\, present and future. By bringing (y)our internet memories and ideals together we will define what’s needed for a fair and sustainable digital future. \nWe start from the premise that Millennials don’t want to\, nor can return to a fully analogue world. We must\, therefore\, learn how to deal positively with the advantages of the world wide web\, and avoid its pitfalls. \nWhilst the internet and the digital revolution have\, doubtless\, provided us with immensely powerful tools\, they have also raised many ethical concerns. This is actually not surprising\, since the digital revolution is still in its early adopting years. Just as the car and car usage have gone through many years of modernization (creation of new traffic rules\, installation of airbags\, seat belts etc.)\, ideas about how we use and should use online digital devices are only starting to be framed. If we want a digital future that reflects the needs of society and the environment\, we need to think\, discuss and act NOW. \nMotivations\, hopes\, achievements: digging into solutions for major societal challenges\, this salon aims to rebuild a Millennial’s portrayal that focuses not on how the internet has gone wrong\, but the ways in which we believe it could be improved and contribute to a better society\, thriving in a rich natural ecosystem. We will be mapping challenges and possible solutions towards a vision for a sustainable society in a technology-pervasive future. \n  \n \n  \nContext\nThis activity is organized within the framework of the Next Generation Internet initiative launched by the European Commission. Results will be presented to the European Parliament.\nThe workshop is organized in collaboration with 4YFN. \n

SUMMARY:Using AI to Fight Disinformation in European Elections
DESCRIPTION:As the European Union readies for its upcoming elections\, accelerating the fight against fake news has become a top priority. Many policymakers are concerned about attempts to covertly use online platforms to insert propaganda and incendiary messages into public discourse in European democracies by targeting particular groups with disinformation campaigns. One powerful tool in the fight against fake news is artificial intelligence (AI)\, which can be used to automatically detect and respond to this content as well as empower users with the ability to verify the veracity of claims. A number of leading tech companies\, including Facebook\, Google\, and Twitter\, have committed to self-regulatory standards and developed a code of practice on disinformation\, and the European Commission is evaluating the extent to which automated tools and self-regulation can counter fake news\, without introducing new distortions to public discourse or stifling freedom of speech. \nJoin the Center for Data Innovation for a conversation about how the public and private sectors can work together to accelerate the use of AI to combat fake news. \nConfirmed Speakers: \n\nPaolo Cesarini\, Head of Unit\, Media Convergence & Social Media\, DG CONNECT\, European Commission\nEline Chivot\, Senior Policy Analyst\, Center for Data Innovation\nClara Hanot\, Advocacy and Fundraising Officer\, EU DisinfoLab\nJens-Henrik Jeppesen\, Director of European Affairs\, Center for Democracy and Technology\nMilan Zubicek\, Public Policy & Government Relations Manager\, Google

SUMMARY:NGI @ FOSDEM19
DESCRIPTION:Next Generation Internet initiative – Year Zero\nCome work for the internet on privacy\, trust\, search & discovery\n Track: Lightning Talks | Room: H.2215 (Ferrer)\nLast year during a FOSDEM keynote Michiel Leenaars\, director of strategy at NLnet foundation\, introduced the Next Generation Internet initiative together with member of the European parliament Marietje Schaake. NGI aims to be the first concerted effort to put significant public funding to hands-on work to really fix the internet. Meanwhile\, the project is on its way. \n \nOn December 1st 2018\, the first open calls opened with funding for independent researchers and developers working on free and open source projects in the area of privacy and trust enhancing technologies and on search\, discovery and discoverability. In this talk Leenaars\, project lead of NGI Zero that is currently offering 11.2 millioneuro in grants\, will tell everything you need to know about the various open calls that you can apply for. With grants ranging from 5.000 euro to 50.000 euro available for research\, development and engineering effort NGI Zero aims to lead the push toward the post-Snowden internet we want. \nFrom the humble four nodes of the ARPANET that were bootstrapped half a century ago this year\, until today\, the internet has grown at a breathtaking pace. But while the technology has gradually penetrated every aspect of our lives\, it has become clear that not all is well and at least some part of its growth has spiraled out of control. In fact\, web inventor Tim Berners-Lee has recently called the current state of his creation (and by extension the larger internet) “dystopian”. \nThe internet of especially the last fifteen years has brought about undesirable concentration of power (“winner takes all”)\, and while it has given us many good things has also caused loss of human agency in many other realms. Internet has given the world totalitarianism the likes of which it has never seen\, has enabled political manipulation at unprecedented scale affection the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Internet has eroded the private sphere to the point where it has been declared dead\, and the mantra of ‘big data’ and business analytics frame the discussion we should be having. Due to its open global nature and the wholly new types of economic dominance neither internet users nor governments both have an adequate answer against dominant super-actors. How dow we stop large scale abuse of power. Have the web and the internet become “anti-human” as Berners-Lee posits? And what can we do about it? \nThe internet is not going to fix itself. Many of the more promising efforts in this realm have been ‘bottom up’ efforts from individuals or small teams\, but these isolated efforts certainly have missed critical mass to actually scale up and change the mainstream internet and the commercial landscape where powerful actors are fully vested in the current course. The Next Generation Internet initiative aims to bring those efforts together\, strengthen and unite them and turn them into something that can be deployed across the whole internet. Let there be no doubt about it: fixing the internet is an insane ‘moonshot++’ effort: the internet is the largest technical structure man has ever made\, and the task at hand is to vastly improve its very operating fabric with > 3 billion people using it on a daily basis. \nAnd yet we have to: fixing the internet is essential to safeguard our economy and create a more resilient and robust infrastructure. And even more importantly we also depend on it to upholding our way of life. How the internet\, the web and the mobile ecosystems work directly impacts our human values. Crafting a better internet is essential for maintaining basic human rights such as privacy for the near-future Europe. \nSurely\, a larger political agenda of Europe should be an integral part of the approach – in some cases regulating the most predatory behaviour from bad actors might be the only thing left to put the genie back in the bottle and to restore health back to the internet. However\, it is also clear that a significant part of the solution lies in the hands of technologists. NGI Zero is probably the first funding programme of its scale that is entirely based on the principles of free/libre\, open source software. We need smart and resourceful people that come and work for the internet. Could this be you? In this talk Michiel Leenaars will explain how the funding works\, and how NGI Zero deals with important issues like localisation\, accessibility\, security\, packaging\, documentation\, responsible disclosure and more. Come and work for the internet too!

SUMMARY:FOSDEM 19
DESCRIPTION:FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet\, share ideas and collaborate.\nFOSDEM is a two-day event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software. \nTaking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium)\, FOSDEM is widely recognised as the best such conference in Europe. Every year\, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather.\n \nWhat is FOSDEM?\nFOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event organised by the community for the community. The goal is to provide free and open source software developers and communities a place to meet to: \n\nget in touch with other developers and projects;\nbe informed about the latest developments in the free software world;\nbe informed about the latest developments in the open source world;\nattend interesting talks and presentations on various topics by project leaders and committers;\nto promote the development and benefits of free software and open source solutions.\n\nParticipation and attendance is totally free\, though the organisers gratefully accept donations and sponsorship. \nDeveloper rooms\nThe FOSDEM team feels it is very important for free and open source software developers around the world to be able to meet in “real life”. \nTo this end\, we have set up developer rooms (devrooms) with network/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet and showcase their projects. Devrooms are a place for teams to discuss\, hack and publicly present latest directions\, lightning talks\, news and discussions. We believe developers can benefit a lot from these meetings.

SUMMARY:INFO SESSION ON ICT-31: EU-US collaboration on NGI
DESCRIPTION:INFO SESSION ON ICT-31: EU-US collaboration on NGI\nThis “EU-US collaboration on NGI” information session focuses on Research and Innovation Actions (RIAs): \nCommon experiments by EU/US teams on emerging topics for the Next Generation Internet / Tomorrow’s Internet programmes on top of EU/US experimental platforms. \nFor grants awarded under this topic for Research and Innovation actions beneficiaries may provide support to third parties as described in part K of the General Annexes of the Work Programme. The support to third parties can only be provided in the form of grants. The respective options of Article 15.1 and Article 15.3 of the Model Grant Agreement will be applied. Only organisations established in the EU and associated countries will be eligible for European Commission funding. \nThe Commission considers that proposals for Research and Innovation actions requesting a contribution from the EU of EUR 3.5 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. As a reference\, 80% of the EU funding should be allocated to financial support for the third parties. Nonetheless\, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. \nThe agenda for the session:\n\nIntroduction | Georgios Tselentis\, European Commission\nICT-31 mechanisms and introduction to the topic | Georgios Tselentis and Stefano Foglietta\, European Commission\n2 min pitches by possible proposers: find partners\, present idea\, have feedbacks\, …\nQ&A

SUMMARY:Webinar: Media & Content Hyper-personalisation
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Media & Content Hyper-personalisation\nWednesday 14.11.2018\, 15:00 CET\nThe European society is based on diversity and only by giving a broad and flexible response\, with the assistance of the hyper-personalization paradigm\, will this diversity be a resource and not a restriction. \nThe global trend towards the extreme differentiation of offerings in products and services cannot be foreign to the sector\, from the recommendation of content to the integration of the final consumer in the design processes. Hyper-personalization through very precise targeting not only ensures the best potential impact but in parallel increases the added value of products and services. \nHyper-personalization technology will allow the gap between providers’ business needs and consumers’ desires to be closed\, allowing consumers to enjoy an increasing range of products whilst service providers battle against the fragmentation of retailing and media across multiple channels and platforms. Appropriate control should be given to consumers to empower them to tailor and tune how hyper-personalization works to meet their needs. \nOne of the key challenges will be to give back the control of personal data to the end users. These data are key for hyper-personalisation but should be under the control of the end user instead of being managed by each service provider with a global inconsistency. \nJoin with Pierre-Yves Danet\, Orange\, to learn more about Media & Content Hyper-personalisation. \nParticipation in the webinar is free of charge\, but requires registration by 14 November 2018\, 12:00 CET (150 attendees).\nPlease register at: https://media-content-hyper-personalisation.eventbrite.co.uk \nBy registering you accept that your user name and any chat questions or comments you share in the webinar are publicly visible to other participants and that the webinar\, including these personal data\, is recorded; the recording is publicly shared on the NGI.eu website and Social Media.\nRegistered participants will receive an access link in the confirmation email. \n\nPierre-Yves DANET graduated from a high French engineer school EFREI\, and joined Orange (France Telecom) in 1992\, taking responsibility of a research group on ISDN. He set up a lab on Home Automation and then moved to the application server research domain. In 2005\, at the creation of the NEM European Technology platform\, he represented Orange at the steering board\, and was appointed vice-chair in charge of Strategy since 2007. In 2010\, he received the Senior grade of SEE (Société de l’Electricité\, de l’Electronique et des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication). Since 2013\, he is in charge of collaborative research – Europe at Orange Labs. He is also the vice-chair of the FIWARE Mundus committee\, which has the objective to evangelise FIWARE outside Europe. He also leads the ETNO Research & Innovation group and represents Orange at the AIOTI. He has been recently appointed as one of the French contact points for the Next Generation Internet initiative. \nMore information about the NGI Expert Group.

SUMMARY:Hackathon: Next Generation Internet Data Sprint
DESCRIPTION:According to a legend\, the first attempt to send two letters by the Internet crashed the whole system. Almost 50 years later\, the internet has come to play an enormous role in our lives\, but we still face huge challenges: How to tackle Russian bots? How to scope with filter bubbles and echo chambers? Are platforms digital monopolists? \nThe DELab team\, together with partners Nesta (UK) and EURECAT (ES)\, participate in the EU ENGINEROOM project\, funded by the European Commission. As part of this work\, the project is developing a methodology based on cutting-edge data science methods\, which help us identify the latest trends and emerging technologies in the internet space\, as well as analyse the most pressing social issues the net faces today. \nWe would like to invite you to the Next Generation Internet Data Sprint to think about the future of Internet with us! \nThe Data Sprint will take place on 9-10 November at the Faculty of Economic Sciences. During the hackathon you will have the opportunity to cooperate with experienced data-scientists from the consortium (Nesta\, Eurecat\, Delab) and be among the first to get to experiment with our data sets and new methodologies – from doing text-mining analyse to building data visualisations\, using web data sources like Reddit\, Wikipedia\, Ars Technica or Reuters. \nWe will work in small groups of 3 to 4 students\, attractive awards are available for the best and most creative projects. This is also an opportunity to have some of your work showcased to the European Commission. For inspirations check out some of our preliminary results: https://ngi.delabapps.eu/. \nPractical information: \n* 9 – 10 November: We start on Friday 17:00 at WNE UW with intro to the assignments. The coding sprint will be from Saturday from 9:00 until 20:00. Pizza and energetic drinks will be provided to boost creativity. \n* Event’s website: http://www.delab.uw.edu.pl/pl/ngi_hackathon/ \n* Do not feel like a master of coding? Nothing lost\, we invite everyone with basis of Python (Python 3 is the optimal tool for the hackathon)\, R or Tableau. If you have no experience in coding\, but interested in social challenges of technology\, your contribution will be highly valued as well. \n* We reserve the right to close registration after reaching the limit of 40 students. In the case of a high number of applications\, admissions will be decided based on the results of the short survey during registration. \n* Best teams will receive awards! \nRegister now! https://goo.gl/forms/ucEfNxMmuqal2Bf32
