SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
DESCRIPTION:30 years of the Web: where do we go next?\nBuilding radical new alternatives for a more democratic future internet\nJoin us on Friday 22 March at the European Parliament for an exciting afternoon of talks and bold ideas about the future of the internet: how can we build an internet and connected world that is more democratic\, inclusive and resilient for all? \nDuring this event\, we will also launch a compilation of radical new visions for the internet\, by both leading and emerging thinkers and artists from Europe and beyond. This event is organised by the NGI Move\, EU Engineroom and recently launched NGI Forward projects. \nThis March marks the thirtieth anniversary of the World Wide Web. As we reflect on its history\, we must also take the opportunity to think about what we want the future of the web\, the internet and everyday life in a connected world\, to look like. The internet has undoubtedly brought us a lot of good over the past decades\, but its astronomical impact has not always led to the betterment of society. Power over our data is concentrated in the hands of very few players and new technologies are creating cracks in our democracies. We find ourselves stuck between two dominant models: the monopolistic corporate-led internet of Silicon Valley and large-scale government surveillance systems of Beijing. \nCan we now come up with a third narrative\, where citizens and communities are in control and can determine their own future?\nThe Next Generation Internet initiative\, the European Commission’s ambitious new flagship programme which seeks to build an internet that’s more inclusive\, resilient and democratic by the end of the decade\, offers and opportunity for Europe to take charge of shaping such a new narrative. This event is part of a longer series part of the NGI in which we think about the kind of future internet we would like to see. \nRegistration will open at 12:45 with the event starting promptly at 13:30. The session will finish at 16:30. \nConfirmed speakers:\n\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder\, IoT Council\nKatja Bego\, Senior researcher\, Nesta\, Coordinator NGI Forward and EU Engineroom\nMarietje Schaake\, Member of European Parliament (D66/ALDE) Foreign Affairs Trade and Tech\nOlivier Bringer\, Head of Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission\nGer Baron\, Chief Technology Officer\, City of Amsterdam\nJulie Dawson\, Head of Regulation and Policy\, Yoti\nManon den Dunnen\, Trust Frameworks\, Police Innovation and Sensemakers\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making\, Big Lottery Fund\nSophie Bloemen\, Co-Director\, Commons Network\nDelfina van Ditmar Fantini\, Tutor/Research Design Products Programme\, Royal College of Arts\, London\nFabrizio Sestini\, Senior Expert for Digital Social Innovation\, European Commission DG Connect\nPeter Baeck\, Head\, Centre for Collective Intelligence Design\, Nesta\nMarta Arniani\, Founder\, Futurible\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n12:45PM – 13:30PM\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n1:30PM – 1:45PM\n\nWelcome\n\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder\, IoT Council\nKatja Bego\, Senior researcher\, Nesta\, Coordinator NGI Forward and EU Engineroom\n\n\n\n\n1:45PM – 2:15PM\n\nIntroductory talk\n\nMarietje Schaake\, Member of European Parliament (D66/ALDE) Foreign Affairs Trade and Tech\n\n\n\n\n2:15PM – 2:30PM\n\nThe Next Generation Internet Initiative: what is it and why is it vital for Europe\n\nOlivier Bringer\, Head of Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission\n\n\n\n\n2:30PM – 3:15PM\n\nBuilding blocks for a better future internet\n\nKatja Bego\, Senior Researcher\, Nesta | Session chair\nGer Baron\, Chief Technology Officer\, City of Amsterdam\nJulie Dawson\, Head of Regulation and Policy\, Yoti\nManon den Dunnen\, Trust Frameworks from Police Innovation and Sensemakers\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making at the Big Lottery Fund\n\n\n\n\n\n3:15PM – 3:30PM | Coffee break\n\n\n\n3:30PM – 3:40PM\n\nA Vision for a Shared Digital Europe\n\n\n\n3:40PM – 4:20PM\n\nHarnessing collective intelligence: how do we involve people in shaping the future internet\n\nMarta Arniani\, Founder\, Futurible | Session chair\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making at the Big Lottery Fund\nSophie Bloemen\, Co-Director and Director\, Commons Network\nDelfina van Ditmar Fantini\, Tutor/Research Design Products Programme\, Royal College of Arts\, London\nPeter Baeck\, Head of the Centre for Collective Intelligence Design\nFabrizio Sestini\, Senior Expert for Digital Social Innovation\, European Commission DG CONNECT\n\n\n\n\n4:20PM – 4:30PM\n\nEvent close and book launch\n\nMarta Arniani\, Founder of Futuribile\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder at IoT Council

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: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

SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ WEB SUMMIT LISBON
DESCRIPTION:You have ten years to save the Planet – A Millennials’ narrative for the Next Generation Internet\nNGI Salon @ Web Summit Lisbon\nSocial Innovation Village delegation night\nDate: 7th November 2018 | 18:00-19:30\nLocation: Casa do Impacto \nModerators:\nMarta Arniani (futuribile / curating futures)\nJennifer Veldman (DataWatchers) \n  \nMillennials form the generation that was born in an analog world and are the early adopters of the digital one. They have experienced at a young age the innocent and empowering era of the internet\, an age of knowledge distribution and new opportunities arising with the mass diffusion of the web. An era of supposedly endless natural resources. The Internet and the digital revolution bring immensely powerful tools\, yet their effects on society and the Planet – were mostly unanticipated: for most of their lifespan they have just been considered useful tools and economy drivers. In truth\, tools are still in early adoption years. The same as when the car went through years of modulation (creating new traffic rules\, installing airbags\, seat belts and so on). Ideas of 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 environment\, we need to think\, discuss and act NOW. We argue that society and environment are strongly intertwined\, as values of the first impact directly on the Planet. Climate is the stone guest at the innovation table. As much as the NGI advocates for a human centric vision against technology-centric efficiency paradigms\, we think this vision should be placed in the natural ecosystem\, the place we live in. \nMotivations\, hopes\, achievements: digging into solutions for major societal challenges\, this salon aims at rebuilding a Millennials narrative that focuses not on how the internet has gone wrong\, but how we believe it could be improved and contribute to a better society\, thriving in a rich natural ecosystem. It will engage with Millennials from the Web Summit Social Innovation Village and local social innovation networks who bear with them that positive and emancipatory outlook on technology that Millennials should be remembered for. \nInfo and inquires: Marta Arniani: marta (at) futuribile.org \n

SUMMARY:#NGI4EU - IoT\, Privacy\, Trust\, Decentralized\, Discovery\, Search
DESCRIPTION:Towards a future Internet that better responds to the expectations of the citizens!\n„We need the collective vision and engagement of all stakeholders to create the Next Generation Internet. We need to gather and discuss ideas concerning concepts\, technologies and applications coming from the largest possible community. We need to work together to build a future Internet that better responds to the expectations of the citizens.“\nBruno Kessler Lecture by Roberto Viola\, Director-General for Communications Networks\, Content & Technology at the European Commission \n  \nNGI Move\, @NGI4EU brings you Salons and Meetings all over Europe to promote\, exchange and debate the Next Generation Internet movement embodied in the upcoming ICT-24 calls in 2018\, 2019 and beyond. \n\nMeet us in Amsterdam!\nWednesday December 20\, from 10:00pm to 12:00am\nRoundtable with Rob van Kranenburg (NGI Move)and presentations on digital priorities\, privacy\, trust\, search\, discovery and decentralized data management as well as Internet of Things.  *RSVP kranenbu@xs4all.nl* (maxcap 30)  \nVenue:\nThe Things Network\, Rockstart\n10 Rigakade\,\n1013 BC Amsterdam\, Netherlands \n\nWe are yet again at a critical stage for Europe. With the threat of geopolitical instability coming from several dimensions Europe needs to not just assert its presence on the world stage\, but moreover needs to assert its digital sovereignty to further its vision of a single digital market. Europe must become a leader in the co-creation of a Next Generation Internet in a more human centric\, societal and economic beneficial ecosystem of researchers\, high tech start-ups\, industrial and government leaders as well as grassroots communities and individuals. \nTo gather the most impactful group of constituencies in a community\, build a shared vision\, inspire policymaking and prototype possible alternatives\, a series of Salons and Meetups are launched by the NGI Move project\, alongside a set of co-creation workshops and annual NGI awards. The Salons are co-creation and design fiction events aimed at rethinking the Internet assumed functioning (in terms of technology\, governance\, sustainability) and inspiring novel public as well as private services and products relying on it. Participants are invited to discuss around questioning topics and open challenges and build collaboratively possible future scenarios\, defined as ‘moonshot’. A series of Moonshots questions the current status quo and federate stakeholders around the building of viable alternatives. \nWorking close with the European Commission\, NGI Move will distil actionable policy recommendations and stimulate the NGI debate. The vision is to create an NGI that is at the service of people and stimulates business opportunities\, centred on European values and competing globally. Our message is pragmatic cybernetics\, balancing extreme centralisation and extreme decentralization where data stays with citizens. \nThis initiative aims at developing a more human-centric Internet supporting values of openness\, cooperation across borders\, decentralisation\, inclusiveness and protection of privacy; giving the control back to the users in order to increase trust in the Internet. It should provide more transparent services\, more intelligence\, greater involvement and participation\, leading towards an Internet that is more open\, robust and dependable\, more interoperable and more supportive of social innovation. \nFor the ICT-24 call closing in 2018 ‘R&I Actions’ in the following three sub-topics will be called for. Proposals should address only one of these sub-topics. Specifically\, the call is designed for 20/80% spilt\, where 80% is reserved for sub-granting. \n\nPrivacy and trust enhancing technologies: as sensors\, objects\, devices\, AI-based algorithms\, etc.\, are incorporated in our digital environment\, develop robust and easy to use technologies to help users increase trust and achieve greater control when sharing their personal data\, attributes and information.\nDecentralized data governance: leveraging on distributed open hardware and software ecosystems based on blockchains\, distributed ledger technology\, open data and peer-to-peer technologies. Attention should be paid to ethical\, legal and privacy issues\, as well as to the concepts of autonomy\, data sovereignty and ownership\, values and regulations.\nDiscovery and identification technologies: to search and access large heterogeneous data sources\, services\, objects and sensors\, devices\, multi-media content\, etc. and which may include aspects of numbering; providing contextual querying\, personalised information retrieval and increased quality of experience.\n\nFollow @NGI4EU to find out more.
