NGI - Next Generation Internet

NGI TRUST supports the development of a human-centric Internet by developing a stronger European ecosystem of researchers, innovators and technology developers in the field of privacy and trust enhancing technologies.

NGI TRUST supports third-party projects working in the following areas:

• Better management of consent, to give more control to the user of their data when accessing and using services.

• Technical innovation in privacy enhancing technologies, such as cryptography, federated identity, security and privacy for IoT, privacy-enhancing data transports and data at rest.

• The application of artificial intelligence/machine learning/neural networks to serve the user’s interests.

• Bootstrapping trust at the protocol level, to maintain a trustable Internet Infrastructure.

The project aims to reinforce, structure and develop the community of researchers, innovators and technology developers in the field of privacy and trust enhancing tech. Build on the state of the art in privacy and trust enhancing technologies: focusing support for third-party projects in a limited number of priority topics. Improve user trust and acceptance of emerging technology: using applications and solutions to develop a more open and reliable Internet + strengthen Internet Governance. Foster the exploitation and commercialisation of the results of selected third-party projects through a tailored process of coaching and mentoring.
