NGIAtlantic.eu workshop at the NGI Policy Summit 2020
This year the NGI Policy Summitwill be held online on 28 and 29 September and cater to a diverse audience of policymakers and influencers from across Europe, as well as civil society organisations, researchers and innovators. Bringing together a coalition of internet changemakers, 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 NGI Policy Summit is organised by Nesta and the City of Amsterdam, in collaboration with the European Commission. It forms part of the Next Generation Internet (NGI) programme, the Commission's flagship initiative to build a more democratic inclusive and resilient future internet.
The Summit is aimed at local, national and international policymakers but researchers, innovators and civil society organisations who can share practical ideas for a more human-centric internet are also welcome.
"Privacy and trust: trends in experiments in EU-US research and innovation".
Collaboration on privacy, trust and decentralised data governance is key to improving EU-US research and generating impacts at a pan-European level. Within this space, NGIAtlantic.eu has funded six projects aiming to increase privacy and trust by leveraging AI, blockchain, 5G, big data and IoT technologies. This workshop will provide policymakers with an overview of the major trends and trajectories in EU-US research collaboration and provides important context for NGI-related policy development. NGIAtlantic.eu’s projects will pitch their experiments, present their initial results and showcase the Twinning Lab, an on-line space for researchers, innovators and start-ups to establish complementary partnerships with transatlantic actors to address NGI challenges.
