Several initiatives and calls for actions are gaining traction\, striving to bring real benefits to individuals and organisations by ensuring open\, inclusive and decentralised access to digital resources in line with the core principles and action of the Next Generation Internet (NGI) Initiative. However\, in order to ensure that such approaches can grow and become viable alternatives over the current concentration of Internet resources\, it is crucial to pull resources.

SUMMARY:NGI Policy Summit 2020
DESCRIPTION:We are very excited to announce the NGI Policy Summit 2020. \nBringing together a coalition of internet changemakers from 28-29 September\, the Summit will lay out an ambitious European vision for the future internet and explore the policy interventions and technical solutions that can help get us there. The Summit is aimed at local\, national and international policymakers but we also welcome researchers\, innovators and civil society organisations who can share practical ideas for a more human-centric internet. Register your interest now to join us online. \n\nThe NGI Policy Summit is the flagship policy conference of the European Commission’s Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative. Organised by the City of Amsterdam and Nesta\, the conference aims to set out a compelling vision for the future internet; to empower policymakers across all levels of governance; and to strengthen the ecosystem of the NGI initiative. It provides a unique opportunity to focus on remedies\, not just diagnosis; to explore the concrete building blocks of our shared European vision for the internet\, and forge the coalition to make it happen. \nAimed at policymakers across all levels of governance (EU\, National and local/city-level)\, this year’s event will have a particular focus on the following five themes: \n\nSustainability & resilience: How we can we leverage connectivity and smart technologies to build a more sustainable and resilient and ethically-sourced internet\, and how we can conversely reduce the environmental footprint of the infrastructure underpinning the internet itself?\nTrust & identity: How do we give citizens control over their own data and help them regain trust in online interactions? How can we best use the opportunities offered by new models of online identity and decentralisation to help us do this?\nNew models for the data economy: How do we respond to the extreme centralisation of power in today’s internet economy and the dominance of business models that favour the concentration and exploitation of personal data? How can we help alternative governance and ownership models\, such as data commons and trusts\, succeed?\nInclusion: How do we ensure the future of the internet is more inclusive\, representative and human-centric? How can it help break down economic\, cultural and political barriers and contribute to European integration?\nCollective intelligence: How can Collective Intelligence be augmented through emerging technologies to identify problems or solutions\, mobilise citizens\, and solve the kinds of social challenges that individuals or technology alone cannot?\n\nRegistration\nThe event is free of charge. Register your interest now to join us online.

He also co-chaired the ACM Conference on Recommender systems in 2010 with more than 400 experts from the academy and the industry. He also regularly participates as reviewer in several international conferences on Artificial Intelligence. His research focusses on how Artificial Intelligence can be applied to solve problems business and people are facing. Marc is convinced AI technology will help humans to overcome some of the challenges we always had and dramatically improve our lives. \nRather than following a traditional academic career\, Marc spent more than 20 years creating startups around Artificial Intelligence. He cofounded Strands\, Inc. in 2004\, an established and recognized global Fintech company working for top tier banks worldwide including Barclays\, Deutsche Bank\, BBVA\, ING\, Bank of Montreal\, BNP Paribas\, Santander\, Discount Bank\, just to mention a few.

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: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:DIGITAL ASSEMBLY 2018
DESCRIPTION:Annual event co-organised by the European Commission and the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. \nThe Digital Assembly 2018 is a forum for stakeholders to debate\, take stock and look ahead at how Europe and its partners around the world are preparing for the main digital policy challenges ahead. The Assembly will also present an opportunity for dialogue on how to reap the benefits for citizens and businesses in a rapidly changing world. \nVIEW THE WEB-STREAMING HERE!\n\nNGI @ Digital Assembly 2018\n“Towards a common European data space: Internet of Things\, the data economy and the Next Generation Internet” | Panel 2: The data economy and the Next Generation Internet (NGI) \nDate: 26/06/2018 (13.30-16.00) \nThe second part of the workshop will focus on the Next Generation Internet: how can we use the vast amount of data generated on the internet and turn it into useful knowledge and better services for the end-users? How can we use the latest technological developments to build an internet that serves us better\, an internet of humans? \nGreater availability of data and full transparency on the use of citizens’ data will allow them to take back control of the internet and make it a powerful tool to improve their lives in areas as diverse as health\, democracy\, environment and mobility. To exploit the power of data\, it will be important to master the underlying technologies\, including IoT\, AI and Blockchain. How can Europe embrace this technological revolution and shape the internet that we want? What is the role of the different stakeholders and how can we collaborate to make it happen? This second part will debate these questions and seek to define the key characteristics of the Next Generation Internet and the role that data will play to enable it. \nThe Internet and Artificial Intelligence (AI) provide great opportunities\, enabling digital transformation in most sectors of the economy and transforming our society: the way we live\, the way we work\, how we get informed and relate to each other. \nSeveral emerging key technologies will greatly contribute to Internet’s continuous evolution. One of them is Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, where recent advances show an enormous potential to turn the increasingly growing mass of available information into knowledge. This may lead to our seamless immersion in smarter physical and virtual environments powered by AI\, assisting people\, improving their lives and also benefiting the society at large. \nBut with the increasing level of autonomy of systems and algorithms\, there are also increasing challenges: about the transparency of algorithms and decision making processes; about the accountability and liability of AI systems. \nThe introduction of any new technology offers both great opportunities and challenges. It is essential for Europe to ensure the upcoming ‘digital era’ and ‘hyper-connected society’ is based on principles that are in line with our values like openness\, neutrality\, cooperation\, inclusion\, transparency\, protection of data and privacy. \nThe Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative will ensure the developments of Artificial Intelligence and other key technology game changers contribute to making the future internet more human-centric. \nSpeakers \n\nMonique CALISTI (Martel Innovate\, Media & Marketing\, Switzerland)\, Moderator\nSébastien SORIANO (Chairman of ARCEP\, France)\, Panellist\nMarleen STIKKER (Waag\, Netherlands)\, Panellist\nHelmut LEOPOLD (AIT Austrian Institute of Technology\, Center for Digital Safety & Security\, Austria)\, Panellist\n\n[vc_tta_accordion active_section=”-1″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”MONIQUE CALISTI – moderator” tab_id=”1529929010270-67684d6c-dc89″][vc_single_image image=”25489″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Dr. Monique Calisti\, Managing Director and Partner of Martel Innovate\, is an entrepreneur with profound experience in research and innovation management actively engaged in the international digital research and innovation scene.

Olivier will give a state of play of the NGI initiative and the proposed next steps. He will explain how so-called ‘cascading funding’ under H2020 will support top-notch Internet researchers and innovators to help build the internet of tomorrow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions & Answers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:30-11:30\nDebate: Should Open Data end where Data protection begins?\nIn an age when interactive technologies such as AR / VR transform our social interactions by redefining our digital identities\, how do we protect our personal data online?\nData openness and transparency are becoming a growing trend among tech industries and governments in view of creating a more human-centric and open Internet. Furthermore\, actions are being taken to restore the users’ trust in the Internet. While international cooperation and decentralization of governance over personal data is thought to give control back to the users\, how and when do we consider the openness to be too much?\nTaking into consideration that companies have recently aligned with GDPR\, data protection has to be taken into account at the early stages of creation\, or as it is called in tech\, “privacy by design”. Companies now have to adapt their policies to two conflicting trends: data openness and protection.Jean-Paul Sartre once said “my freedom ends where the others’ begin”. We ask you\, does open data end where data protection begins? \nModerator: Marta Arniani\, founder of Futuribile / Curating Futures \n\nMarta Arniani is a Horizon 2020 and technology social impact expert. She supports ecosystems of stakeholders and individual companies in designing open innovation projects\, strategies and events to stay ahead of the digital transformation. Her interests lie in Digital Social Innovation\, diversity and ethics in emerging technologies and innovation management. Marta curates a newsletter about tech and innovation social impact\, called futuribile / curating futures.\n\n\n11:30-11:40\nBreak\n\n\n11:40-12:20\nPresentation of NGI upcoming calls for proposals\nPresentation of ICT-25-2018-2020 “Interactive Technologies” and ICT-30-2019-2020 “An empowering\, inclusive Next Generation Internet” \nRehana Schwinninger-Ladak\, Head of Data Applications and Creativity Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission\n \n\n\n\n\nRehana Schwinninger-Ladak was appointed Head of the Unit “Data Applications and Creativity” in January 2018. The Unit ’s mission is to support the digital transformation of cultural and education institutions by i) promoting the digitisation of cultural heritage and its wider access and reuse through new technologies and the further development of Europeana as Europe’s platform for digital cultural heritage and ii) fostering the modernisation of education and training systems in an age of rapid technological changes.\nTo this end\, the unit supports policy\, research\, innovation and the wider take up of interactive technologies\, learning technologies and connectivity to allow European citizens to have a richer experience of cultural and educational content and to allow European businesses to create value from digital cultural heritage.\nIn her previous position at the European Commission\, Rehana was the deputy Head of the Unit responsible for Learning\, Multilingualism and Accessibility. Prior to it\, she was closely involved in the development and follow-up of the European regulatory framework on audiovisual media and the Commission’s strategy on Data. \n\n\n\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n\n12:20-12:30\nHow to get involved in NGI and where to meet next? \nDr. Monique Calisti\, Martel Innovate\, HUB4NGI Coordinator\n\n\n12:30-13:30\nNetworking Buffet\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION\nPlease register here\nPlease also register to Futur.e.s in Paris festival to get access to the venue.\nAccess to the festival is free of charge\, but international visitors wishing to make the most of their stay are invited to purchase the International Pass which gives access to a Business Tour in Paris tech ecosystem\, a guided tour through the festival’s most innovative demos\, a networking space and a pitch session. \n\nVENUE\nGrande Halle de La Villette\,\nHall de la Chanson\,\n211 avenue Jean Jaurès\,\n75019 Paris\, France \nMap: https://goo.gl/maps/b14P2dQr4CT2 \n\nCONTACTS\nManuella Portier\, Director of EU Affairs\, Cap Digital\, manuella.portier@capdigital.com\nJulia Morawski\, European Project Officer\, Cap Digital\, julia.morawski@capdigital.com\nIpshita Singh\, European Project Assistant\, Cap Digital\, ipshita.singh@capdigital.com \n\nMORE INFO\nAbout NGI: https://ngi.eu/\nAbout NEM: https://nem-initiative.org/\nAbout Futur.e.s in Paris festival: https://paris.futuresfestivals.com/\nAbout Cap Digital: http://www.capdigital.com/
