The Next Generation Internet (NGI) has the potential to disrupt our economy, society, and environment even more than internet technologies have changed our world over the last “emerging-Internet” years.

To develop a human-centric internet, where technology is utilized as a powerful tool to serve the core European values of equality and democracy, there must be the right priorities and framework set. NGI - European Commission initiative aims to develop the current Internet in terms of service and speed and launch a entirely new range of applications which will transform the current use of the Internet. The opportunities of such worldwide change will be uncovered during three presentations throughout the webinar.

“Introduction to the Next Generation Internet: The Internet of Humans” by Robert Miskuf (Pedal Consulting)

The Next Generation Internet (NGI) is a European Commission initiative that aims to shape the development and evolution of the Internet into an Internet of Humans. The focus is on advanced technologies including privacy and trust, search and discovery, decentralized architectures, blockchain, Internet of Things, social media, interactive technologies, as well as technologies supporting multilingualism and accessibility. To ensure durable impact NGI also provides mentoring to help bring research and innovation outcomes to the market.

In his presentation, Robert Miskuf from PEDAL Consulting (a partner of the TETRA project which acts as a business accelerator for NGI) will present the most relevant actions in this field.

“The Next Generation Internet – Re-thinking the Digital Agenda Towards the Society” by Jose Gonzalez (Australo)

The roadmap which shapes the human-centered Internet will be presented as the ideology that the people-centered Internet works to make sure the Internet is a positive force for good, improving the lives and well-being of people around the world. The presentation of “Digital Agenda” will underline the need for defining such a strategy, giving examples like the empowerment of women in STEM, and the significant role that mobility programmes have over the professional careers of talented researchers and entrepreneurs.
