If you are interested in an open call for EU - US cooperation in Next Generation Internet, I would like to bring to your attention about the recently started NGIatlantic.eu project, whose purpose is to fund open calls for EU innovators to carry out NGI related experiments with a US team on experimental platforms (either EU or US experimental platforms, or both).
The project is holding a webinar about the first open call on Thursday March 26th @15:00 CET. Please look at the details here : https://www.ngiatlantic.eu/events/all-you-need-know-about-ngiatlanticeus-1st-open-call-webinar-26-march-2020.
Joining the webinar can be done via this link » You may be asked for a password to join the webinar, please contact the Research Office ([email protected]) in advance for this password if you are planning to attend.
Projects will be funded from 50k€ through to 150k€
- Long-term lasting up to 6 months;
- Short-term lasting up to 3 months.
Some of the NGI topics we are expecting to receive project proposals for the 1st open call from 1 April, 2020 until 28 May, 2020 (overall budget of 600k€), are:
1. Privacy and Trust enhancing technologies – experimentation of results on the NGI call topic related to the development of robust and easy to use technologies to help users gain improved trust and greater control when sharing their personal data, attributes and information.
2. Decentralised data governance - experimentation of results on the NGI call topic related to leveraging distributed open hardware and software ecosystems based on blockchains, distributed ledger technology, open data and peer-to-peer technologies with particular focus on ethical, legal and privacy issues, as well the concepts of autonomy, data sovereignty and ownership, values and regulations.
3. Discovery and identification technologies - experimentation of results on the NGI call topic related to new methods of search, discovery, and access of large heterogeneous data sources, services, objects and sensors, devices, multimedia content, etc. and which may include aspects of numbering; providing contextual querying, personalised information retrieval and improved quality of experience.
