EU-IoT Final Event: From IoT to Cloud-Edge-IoT Continuum – Takeaways and Transition to the New Paradigm

The EU-IoT consortium would like to extend an invitation to the wider community to attend the upcoming Showcase Event, which will mark the end of the 2-year project. Since kicking off in November 2020, the project has aimed to transform the current IoT community of researchers and innovators in Europe into an increasingly cohesive, dynamic, participatory and sustainable ecosystem, as an essential part of a Next Generation Internet.

EU-IoT has been a vital accelerator for the European IoT ecosystem, supporting the development of synergies, fostering strategic coordination among Next Generation Internet of Things (NGIoT) projects and related initiatives, and promoting the adoption of IoT solutions. As the project comes to a close in March 2023, this event provides an opportunity to reflect on the achievements and lessons learned and explore the future of IoT in Europe.

The event will feature presentations from key stakeholders who will be showcasing some of the most important outcomes of the project, engaging with other relevant projects that will follow from the work done on the EU-IoT such as the EUCloudEdgeIoT initiative.

Join us for this exciting and informative event and be part of the next chapter of IoT in Europe.

High-level expert webinar: Internet Commons and Digital Sovereignty
2023-01-31 14:30 - 16:30 | Online
Digital Commons are among the core assets to pursue Europe’s Digital Sovereignty. Several initiatives and calls for action are gaining traction, striving to bring real benefits to individuals and organisations by ensuring open, inclusive and decentralised access to digital resources in line with the core principles and action of the Next Generation Internet (NGI) Initiative. However, in order to ensure that such approaches can grow and become viable alternatives over the current concentration of Internet resources, it is crucial to pull resources. Therefore, policymakers, regulators, public authorities and all other relevant players in the internet arena must converge to define collaboration policies and targeted institutional and financial plans to guarantee interoperability and community governance.

The main objectives of the webinar:

Discuss priorities for Europe to support an open, free, global, interoperable, reliable, and secure Internet.Explore the latest evolution of Digital Commons initiatives and relevant European policy-driven efforts.Discuss the role of the Next Generation Internet initiative as a way to foster Digital Commons and European Digital Sovereignty.Increase collaboration among all European players at work on Internet Commons.

The webinar will be moderated by Dr Monique Calisti, NGI Outreach Office Director.We will keep you updated with the planned agenda and speakers.
