The internet plays an increasing role in our daily lives, for work, education and leisure. The next generation internet will be even more pervasive but it should also become a more human internet.

The European next generation internet initiative is about taking a fresh look, with a broad perspective.

This perspective covers the networks and technologies powering the network and computing, the services and applications delivering user value, all the socio-economic innovation it enables and also the policies governing its use and evolution.

NGI Consultation Platform

This is the space for an open and broad conversation with those people who are drivers of this next generation internet.

This dynamic and continuous process is supported by a European Champions Panel representing different stakeholders and sharing their views on NGI challenges and opportunities.

But it doesn’t stop here. The platform is complemented by an incremental Knowledge Base featuring quality content from multi-stakeholder, multi-disciplinary contributions to reflect Europe’s inclusive approach to the next generation internet.

The NGI consultation maintains direct linkages and develops synergies with GIPO, the Global Internet Policy Observatory. GIPO is a tool built through crowdsourcing to help the global community interested in Internet-related policy. It helps with the collection, analysis and sharing of every relevant information around Internet governance topics.
