SUMMARY:NGIoT | IoT and Edge: Instruments\, Priorities and Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the workshop is to take stock and consolidate on the key messages from the previous workshops on IoT and Edge computing\, organised by the Horizon 2020 project NGIoT\, held on 11 September and 7/8 December 2020. \nNGIoT invites European industry and the public sector to reflect on the results from these workshops and convey their position or provide a spontaneous feedback on the role of Edge Computing as they experience it in their relevant sectors. Feedback could be provided orally or through quote and/or expression of interest in supporting the future strategic discussion on Edge Computing at the European level. \nWe welcome your vision\nThe previous workshops have shown a general consensus that the current shift from Cloud to Edge offers significant opportunities for Europe. While currently\, 80 percent of data is stored and processed centralised in the cloud and 20 percent at the Edge in smart connected objects\, in five years\, this is expected to be the opposite. The shift to the Far Edge is driven by the need for real time solutions\, for more intelligence in devices\, and is also pushed by the green agenda\, as well as quests for increased privacy and security. In addition\, Edge computing is supporting the shift in focus from big data to relevant data. \nEurope is strongly positioned at the Edge/Far Edge\, covering key players in the value chain from sensors and systems\, embedded computing\, connectivity\, SW design to the development of complex products\, but forces should be joined\, moving from a value chain to a value network. Also\, research needs to come up to speed in order to support the developments in industry. \nRecent workshops contributed to the vision on how to make the most out of European investments in research\, innovation and deployment related to IoT and Edge computing in the coming years. Perspectives for main priorities for research\, innovation and deployment on the short/midterm and long term have been addressed. Awareness should be created on the strength of Europe and what Europe still needs. Which instruments for collaboration would create most value? Which barriers are the most critical ones identified? And most important\, who are the relevant European key players that can drive the seismic shift from Cloud to Far Edge? How to support SMEs to contribute? \nREGISTER TO THE WORKSHOP HERE!

SUMMARY:NGI @ MyData 2020
DESCRIPTION:FUNDING INNOVATION THROUGH THE NEXT GENERATION INTERNET (NGI) INITIATIVE\nSession Host & Presenter: David Seoane \nGoal: Present an overview of the available funding opportunities provided by the Next Generation Internet initiative through open calls. This initiative aim at funding the next Internet researchers and innovators to address technological opportunities around the following areas: privacy and trust\, search and discovery\, decentralised architectures\, blockchain\, Internet of Things\, social media\, interactive technologies\, as well as technologies supporting multilingualism and accessibility. \nDescription: The session will provide an overview of current and future open calls provided by the initiative\, that are managed through the cascade funding mechanism under the Horizon 2020 programme. This mechanism consists of an agile and simple process where the funding is distributed through ongoing NGI Research and Innovation Actions (RIAs) that provide support to projects from outstanding academic researchers\, hi-tech startups and SMEs.\nFunding is allocated to projects using short research cycles targeting the most promising ideas. Each of the selected projects pursue their own objectives\, while the NGI RIAs provide the programme logic and vision\, technical support\, coaching and mentoring\, to ensure that projects contribute towards a significant advancement of research and innovation in the NGI initiative.\nThe focus is on advanced concepts and technologies that link to relevant use cases and that can have an impact on the market and society over all. Applications and services that innovate without a research component are not covered by this model.

SUMMARY:NGI @ MyData 2020
DESCRIPTION:A sustainable internet for a greener data economy\nNGI FUNDING: A SUSTAINABLE INTERNET FOR A GREENER DATA ECONOMY\nPresenters: Dr Giovanni Rimassa\, Dr Monique Calisti\nHost: Dr Monique Calisti \nGoal: To present the Next Generation Internet initiative and invite newcomers to join\, calling attention to the main challenges and opportunities to transform the internet of today into a more inclusive\, trustworthy\, democratic\, resilient and sustainable one. \nDescription:\nThe Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative (ngi.eu) has been launched by the European Commission with the ambition to gather and empower the community of researchers and innovators in Europe at work to transform the Internet in a way that it responds to people’s fundamental needs\, including trust\, security\, and inclusion\, while reflecting the values and norms all citizens enjoy in Europe. The NGI has been evolving and growing right from its inception\, gathering a large community of about 550 Internet researchers and innovators supported in 366 third-party projects. These projects cover a number of applications and technological building blocks that are essential to improve both the way the internet works and how it empowers people and communities. \nAs a matter of fact\, the internet and its supporting technologies are essential to accelerate the twin digital and green transitions our society and economy need\, especially to overcome the major crisis induced by the COVID19 pandemic. However\, while advanced internet technologies are essential for this transition to happen rapidly and efficiently\, they are also part of a major problem: the overall impact on the environment of digital technologies themselves. \nData traffic is increasing tremendously (+25% on average a year)\, corresponding to 55% of the annual energy consumption of the whole ICT sector. This year\, due to the COVID19 pandemic and its effects on our lives\, the Internet traffic\, for instance\, has been generally 25% to 30% higher than usual. This leads of course to an enormous growth of energy consumption\, which calls technologists\, policy makers\, private and public organisations to adopt the proper measures to move to a more sustainable internet in the wider context of a greener data economy. \nIn this session\, in line with the vision recently presented in the  “Vision for the future internet” NGI working paper\, we will discuss and present challenges\, opportunities and recent initiatives that focus on the development and promotion of green digital technologies for a more sustainable internet in the context of a greener data economy.
