THE CONTRIBUTION OF NGI IN SOCIETY POST COVID-19

Martel CEO and NGI Outreach Office Director, Dr Monique Calisti joins experts to discuss society post COVID-19 and the role of the Next Generation Internet initiative in addressing issues and challenges.

What has been the contribution of the Internet during the world lockdown? What worked and what didn’t work? What are the emerging needs of the post COVID-19 society? How can those needs be addressed while respecting the fundamental values of privacy, participation and diversity? What can be the contribution of the Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative for innovative human Internet services?
This webinar will promote an interactive reflection to bridge the NGI mission with the rapid evolving needs of the post COVID-19 society. Together with the NGI community, emerging opportunities for NGI visionary start-ups, researchers and developers will be identified.
The Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative aims at developing a more human-centric Internet supporting the values of openness, decentralisation, inclusiveness, and protection of privacy while also giving the control back to the end-users, in particular of their data, in order to increase trust in the Internet. This requires more transparent services, more intelligence, greater involvement and participation, leading towards an Internet that is more open, robust, more interoperable and more supportive of social innovation. In doing so, NGI engages Internet’s best innovators in addressing tech opportunities as well as validate and test relevant minimum viable products and services in real market conditions.
