A Collaborative platform for EU-US NGI experiments

Project description

Trans-Atlantic collaboration for NGI experiments

The Next-Generation Internet (NGI) represents a key element among scientists and innovators in both the EU and United States (US). As result, experiments are effectuated on EU-US experimental platforms. The EU-funded NGIAtlantic.eu project intends to create the organisational and financial structure that will guide the cascade funding of EU-based researchers working on NGI experiments, alongside with counterparts in the US funded by the US-based funding agencies. The project will develop and manage a platform for the use of targeted researchers' communities and will encourage and support the cascade funding of regular research projects and experiments. It will mobilise the users' communities of both the EU and US to successfully promote trans-Atlantic collaboration. The project will last 30 months and is expecting to organise the funding of 30 experiments and 50 organisations.

Objective

NGIAtlantic.eu in its 38 months rigorous workplan, has a central goal to provide the organisational and financial framework that will drive the cascade funding of the EU-based research and innovators in carrying out Next Generation Internet (NGI) related experiments built on top of EU – US experimental platforms.

NGIAtlantic.eu develops, manages and publicises to targeted user communities an organisational and financial funding platform to stimulate and support an efficient process for regular research cycles of cascade funded projects engagements between EU and US innovators related to common priority topics derived from the EU’s NGI related Experimental Platforms, including NGI Experimentation (NGI-EXP), FIRE, 5G-PPP, and the US’s relevant Internet programmes, including the NSF’s wired funded programs, ENTeR / GENI and Future Cloud Platform, and Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) program and dedicated US-EU program entitled Internet Core & Edge Technologies, ICE-T. The funded projects will emerge from clearly established selection criteria, through a transparent and efficient process of 50+ External Pool of Evaluators.

The Partners from both EU & US, have been selected to bring the necessary competences in all crucial areas required by the call, from technical knowledge, direct experience in EU-US collaborations, cascading grant management expertise, to NGI policy understanding and experience in experimental platforms in EU and US, and with experience in mobilising the expected communities of users to make trans-Atlantic collaboration a success from all viewpoints. The Consortium is supported by an Expert Advisory Group (EAG). Main Project outputs: 1 platform & open call processes, Twinning lab, 30+ EU-US NGI experiments, 50+ EU & US organisations receiving funding, 1 continuous, well-publicised Open Calls with 5 cycles for applications, targeting 30+ proposals, 150+ specialists supported, 5 workshops, 6 webinars, a Priority Landscape report 2030.
