NGIatlantic.eu just closed successfuly its Second Open Call, starting the evaluation phase of the second group of applications. In this article you will find some interesting stats giving you insights about the percentage of EU/US applicants, their origin and type of organisation and more.

Through a set of 5 Open Calls, the H2020 project NGIatlantic.eu supports the collaboration between EU and US with a total funding budget of 2.8 Million euro dedicated to research.

NGIatlantic.eu is excited to open the second of 5 Open Calls for proposals with an overall budget of 2.8 million Euro. European organisations can use this funding to carry out research & innovation activities in collaboration with US counterparts on NGI experimental platforms. The purpose is to incentivize collaboration between EU and US research teams to meet the technical challenges posed by the vision of a more human-centric, Next Generation Internet.

The main goal of the NGIatlantic.eu Open Calls is to incentivize EU – US NGI teams to carry out experiments using EU and/or US based experimental platforms. The POWDER Platform (the Platform for Open Wireless Data-driven Experimental Research) is a facility for experimentation where researchers can carry out real-world experimentation on next-generation wireless networking in a city-scale “living laboratory”.

One month after closure, the evaluation phase of the first NGIatlantic.eu Open Call is almost complete, which will select the winning projects from the 21 submitted proposals to be announced shortly. The unexpectedly high response to the first open call demonstrates a tremendous interest in transatlantic collaboration in NGI from SMEs and R&D actors alike throughout Europe and the US.
