Panel : Next Generation Internet

NGI is a key priority in the EU H2020 work programme. This is to ensure that the immense potential of AI, of our digital connection with the physical world, our mediated experience of immersive environments, and future data networks connecting people and machines are used to empower EU citizens to steer their lives and contribute to inclusive and sustainable societies. The NGI initiative aims to keep the internet resources open and trustworthy. This effort engages all relevant stakeholders, from the public and private sectors to academia and civil society NGOs. The EC roadmap and four NGI project results are presented. Two panellists discuss the ethical values and the geopolitical context that waits a next generation of millennium internauts.

This Panel is an excellent opportunity to gain inside on the running of flagship research projects. Panelists are project leaders or staff deeply involved in these projects. In addition to the theoretical aspects, these researchers are practitioners with real hands-on experience.
