Workshop on Open Source key areas for Digital Autonomy
2024-02-01 09:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Brussels) | Conference Center Albert Borschette, European Commission, Brussels, 1049, Belgium
Three Directorate-Generals from the European Commission (Connect, DIGIT and GROW) are joining forces to organize a physical event in Brussels to discuss Open Source in four key areas for Digital Autonomy.

The study on the impact of Open Source in the EU economy confirmed the relevance of this subject. The twelve workshops organized in December 2022 by the European Commission have served to pave the way to relevant political initiatives. This time, the Commission is focusing on the areas that are prone to be the most relevant for Open Source.

The first area is Cybersecurity and trustworthiness of ICT systems, which is of crucial importance in today’s Digital Europe. The second session will elaborate the transformation of the automotive design towards a connected, carbon-neutral and customer-centric transport with the Software-defined vehicle(SDV). The third panel will analyze how to be successful and manage the challenges in implementing open source projects and solutions in European public services. The final session will develop how to provide and use as much as possible Open Source for developing Data Spaces.

Workshops will benefit from the viewpoints of panelists recognized as experts in the workshop topic.

EU Open Source Policy Summit 2024
2024-02-02 09:00 - 18:00
The 10-year anniversary of the OpenForum Europe’s EU Open Source Policy Summit is taking place on 2 February 2024, just before FOSDEM. The Summit is the world’s largest assembly of policymakers, Open Source businesses, community members, developers, foundations, and experts engaged in digital policy.

The overarching policy message of this conference is an important one: strategic use of open technologies and Open Source in particular play an important role in solving digital policy challenges. The opportunities “openness” brings come in the form of decreasing vendor lock-in, increasing the resilience of the systems in question, while also boosting competition and innovation.

Open Source has reached the level of policy maturity that brought significant attention to topics relating to open technologies in the Cyber Resilience Act and the AI Act, the need for openness for interoperability in the Interoperable Europe Act, and other policy initiatives around the globe.

From governance, interoperability assessments and regulatory sandboxes, to exploring how emerging technologies like AI play into the story, the audience will find new approaches to implementing the Interoperable Europe Act and finding how other initiatives in the field of digital government are perfectly aligned to the Interoperable Europe Act.

In turn, participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with the European Commission about public sector needs to implement the interoperability policy, and to ensure that the new upcoming learning materials aimed at capacity-building will be tailor-made to the challenges at hand.

A wide variety of workshops and panel discussions (that can be followed face to face or online) will involve highly professional experts from Interoperable Europe and the KU Leuven. These courses will help to disseminate knowledge and to spark interest in new fields in order to establish bridges for future cooperations both vertically and horizontally among public administrations in the EU.

Webinar - Open source CPU and SoC design: The flow, the challenges and a perspective
2024-04-11 13:00 - 14:30 | Online
About the webinar

While not being the first free ISA (Instruction Set Architecture), RISC-V recently made CPU design much more accessible. Consequently, in recent years, many projects emerged to develop free and open-source CPU and SoC designs.

Through the lens of the SpinalHDL, VexRiscv and NaxRiscv projects, this webinar will introduce the kind of tooling which is involved in designing a CPU and deploying it on hardware, the related challenges, the similarities and differences between hardware and software open-source, how the industry interact with open-source hardware, as well as the difficulties that the scale of such project creates.

About Charles Papon

Charles Papon graduated in 2014 with a background which mixes both hardware and software skills. His open-source hardware contributions started in 2015 with the creation of SpinalHDL, a tool made to push forward the way hardware description is done by mixing Scala and internal domain specific languages. Then, as a demonstrator of the technology, he initiated the VexRiscv project (2017, a CPU softcore). Because of its success as a CPU softcore, VexRiscv became the main SpinalHDL driver. After a few years of VexRiscv development, the need to push the boundary in the softcore space initiated the NaxRiscv project in 2021, which provided much higher performances via multi-issue and out-of-order execution capabilities as well as Debian capabilities.
His contributions to those projects were made as an individual, receiving occasional funding by either providing on site training, consultancy or feature addition.

WEBINAR-Tech talk with bunnie on IRIS: an open hardware project to verify chips
2024-05-02 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
Andrew “bunnie” Huang on silicon inspection

Thursday May 2, 2024. 11.00 – 12.00 CEST (Brussels time) / 17.00 SGT (Singapore time)Location: Big Blue Button platform: https://vc.ngi-0.eu/rooms/ahq-y96-uhs-jka/join

Hardware hacker bunnie is working on IRIS (Infra-Red, In-Situ) inspection of silicon, a project to facilitate the non-destructive verification of silicon chips. The goal of the project is to give people a tangible reason to trust their chips. In this webinar he’ll give a short talk about the project but will leave most of the time for a Q&A as he is interested to hear what people think about IRIS.

Chip inspection often requires removing or even destroying the chip. With IRIS bunnie has developed a method using infrared light to inspect chips without having to unmount them. The aim of the project is to create a set of techniques for the hardware world that fill the analogous role of “digital signature verification” used on software packages: a ubiquitous method to establish trust in an artifact, after it has been delivered to the user.

10th ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference
2024-05-14 00:00 - 2024-05-16 23:59 | Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore, Block S15, 3 Science Drive 2, Singapore, 117543, Malaysia
ETSI and the Institute for Quantum Computing are pleased to announce the 10th ETSI/IQC Quantum Safe Cryptography Conference, taking place in Singapore on 14-16 May 2024. The event will be hosted by the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore.

Join us in marking this important milestone by contributing with a talk, proposing a panel discussion or simply coming along to learn more about this rapidly evolving field and meet the key players behind these important maturing technologies.

We increasingly rely on cyber technologies, and hence are ever more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. As progress toward a cryptographically relevant quantum computer advances, these attack vectors grow and the imperative to prepare for a transition to quantum secure technologies continues to increase. In response, standardization efforts are accelerating; the initial NIST PQC standards are due in 2024, and our working groups here at ETSI are active in evaluating these and how they will fit into existing protocols, applications and public-key infrastructures. Hence solutions are starting to become commercially available, best practices are being developed and shared, and the ability to transition in a secure and cost-effective way continues to increase. This is a continually evolving and complex journey and much remains to be understood and navigated.

This event was designed for members of the business, government, and research communities with a stake in cryptographic standardization to facilitate the knowledge exchange and collaboration required to transition cyber infrastructures and business practices to make them safe in an era with quantum computers. It aims to showcase both the most recent developments from industry and government and cutting-edge potential solutions coming out of the most recent research.

Conference Objectives:

Showcase recent research, initiatives and standardization activities worldwide

Bring together key players from industry, academia, government and standardization bodies

Facilitate networking and relationship-building opportunities

Encourage discussion and critical thinking around pertinent topics

Provide actionable steps and takeaways for novices wanting to begin their quantum-safe migration

Why should one attend?

The first NIST standards for PQC will be released in 2024 and therefore there is no reason to delay your quantum-safe migration further.This conference is a perfect opportunity to determine your next steps, learn from experts and network others going through the process. Nowhere else can you encounter the latest research in such an actionable way, with specific tracks for both executives and technical experts.

NGI COMMONS WORKSHOP 2024: CO-CREATING DIGITAL COMMONS PRIORITIES FOR EUROPE’S DIGITAL DECADE
2024-06-05 09:00 - 17:00 | Tolhuistuin, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Have you ever thought in detail about what a more open Internet might look like? Have you wondered how governments might work more in the open alongside the rest of society? Or perhaps you’ve considered what it might look like to more intentionally co-create Europe’s digital future by developing shared, public interest digital resources and infrastructures?

If so, the NGI Commons project would like to invite you to join a unique one-day workshop in Amsterdam, in the lead up to the PublicSpaces Conference 2024. This exploratory workshop will inform participants about what digital commons are and their increasing relevance in the European digital policy landscape, as well as work with attendees to co-create priorities for digital commons policymaking during the rest of Europe’s digital decade. The event will also raise awareness around opportunities for funding for digital commons projects in the Next Generation Internet (NGI) ecosystem.

The workshop is an input into the research and policy work of the NGI Commons Initiative, with the outputs being summarized in a detailed policy report that will inform future activities of the initiative. In the morning, we will catch participants up to speed on digital commons policies, the Next Generation Internet (NGI) Initiative, and the state of the digital commons ecosystem through interactive presentations and seminars. In the afternoon, we will engage participants to brainstorm priorities, topics, and technologies that could be of relevance to future digital commons policymaking in the EU.

Throughout the day, we will consider questions like:

Which ongoing initiatives are underway in Europe that seek to impact the policy landscape for digital commons?

Which European values and principles are key to uphold through new policies around digital commons?

What should the future of the digital commons landscape look like in Europe and how might that differ according to the needs of different groups (e.g., national governments, civil society, private sector, development partners, etc)?

PublicSpaces Conference 2024: Taking Back the Internet!
2024-06-06 00:00 - 2024-06-07 23:59 | Pakhuis de Zwijger, Amsterdam, Netherlands
On 6 and 7 June, PublicSpaces and Waag Futurelab will organise the fourth edition of the PublicSpaces conference with the theme ‘Taking Back the Internet’. The two-day programme will take place at Pakhuis de Zwijger, Amsterdam. Through panels, keynotes, roundtable sessions, lectures, art and culture, we will work our way towards an internet where we set the rules collectively.

In 2024, most digital services and platforms are owned by a few Big Tech companies. This centralisation of power does not align with how the internet was conceived. It creates society-disrupting problems. From privacy violations and influencing election results to discrimination by biased algorithms, Big Tech’s monopoly affects everyone.
