<!-- What -->
|
|
<p>
|
|
The FSFE is a partner organisation of <a
|
|
href="https://www.ngi.eu/about/ngi-zero/">NGI Zero</a>, a
|
|
coalition of thirteen not-for-profit organisations from across
|
|
Europe. Funded by the European Commmission, NGI Zero (or NGI0)
|
|
provides grants to individual researchers and developers, as well
|
|
as teams that wish to work on new ideas and technologies that
|
|
contribute to the establishment of the <a
|
|
href="https://www.ngi.eu/vision/">Next Generation Internet</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>What is the Next Generation Internet initiative?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a href="https://www.ngi.eu/">Next Generation Internet</a> is
|
|
a European initiative with the aim to create an internet that
|
|
respects human and societal values, such as privacy,
|
|
participation, and diversity. It hopes to enable new online
|
|
functionalities that can support real human needs and address
|
|
global sustainability challenges. To this end, NGI0 was set up
|
|
within the Next Generation Internet initiative to coordinate
|
|
several Research and Innovation Actions, including the <a
|
|
href="https://nlnet.nl/discovery/"> NGI0 Discovery </a> and <a
|
|
href="https://nlnet.nl/PET/">NGI0 PET </a> actions, run by the <a
|
|
href="https://nlnet.nl/">NLNet Foundation</a> in the Netherlands.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>NGI0 Research and Innovation Actions: PET and Discovery</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each of these actions will support the development of
|
|
technologies promoting the NGI ideals with grants funded by the
|
|
European Commission over the next few years. Specifically, NGI0
|
|
PET awards grants to applicant privacy and trust enhancing
|
|
technology projects, and NGI0 Discovery awards grants to
|
|
applicant technology projects that enhance user access to search
|
|
for and discover information on the internet.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In order to be effective at internet scale, the results of these
|
|
efforts are made available as free/libre/open source software.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Role of the FSFE</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Generally, NGI0 will aid the approved projects in an advisory
|
|
capacity with their technologies in their respective specific
|
|
areas of expertise, such as security and accessibility. The FSFE
|
|
in particular will provide guidance to the applicant technologies
|
|
with understanding best practices for communicating the
|
|
components, licenses, and copyrights associated with software
|
|
packages.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This allows all software produced with these grants to be
|
|
verified automatically without manual intervention, and therefore
|
|
to be quickly and safely adopted by individuals, public bodies,
|
|
and private enterprises of any size.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Additionally, the FSFE has produced for NGI0 participants a
|
|
series of documents and FAQs that explain Free Software legal and
|
|
licensing issues, and how to manage these issues within a
|
|
software project. These documents are also available to the
|
|
general public, so if you would like to take a look at them, you
|
|
can access them <a
|
|
href="https://download.fsfe.org/NGI0/V2/">here</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Get involved</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Calls for submissions to the NGI0 PET and NGI0 Discovery actions renew every 2 months.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you have an idea that contributes to the Next Generation
|
|
Internet, and that relates to the topic of privacy and trust in
|
|
(internet-related) technology, or to the topic of search,
|
|
discovery, and discoverability, please do not hesitate to <a
|
|
href="https://nlnet.nl/propose/">propose it here</a>.
