Happy New Year, once again!
There is also, exactly one month left to apply to NGI Zero PET 7th Open Call.
Full description of the call here: https://nlnet.nl/PET/
We need your contributions to help reshape the state of play, and to help create an open, trustworthy and reliable internet for all. And of course, such contributions do not happen automatically. Therefore between now and 2021 we will award 5.6 million euro in small to medium-size R&D grants towards privacy and trust enhancing technologies. We are looking for new ideas and core technologies that help society tackle hard but very important questions, each of which has significant social and economic consequences. The project results become available under an open source license, so anyone can read and validate the source code, and anyone can use the code to create technology that fits their own purposes.
We are seeking project proposals between 5.000 and 50.000 euro's - with the potential to scale them up if there is proven potential. Reliability, confidentiality, integrity and security should be the 'new normal' of the internet, something ordinary users should not have to worry about. Trust is one of the key drivers for the Next Generation Internet, and an adequate level of privacy is a non-negotiable requirement for that. We want to assist independent researchers and developers to create powerful new technology, and to help them put it in the hands of future generations as building blocks for a fair and democratic society and an open economy that benefits all.
The seventh call of NGI Zero PET opened up on December 1st, 2019, with a deadline for submission of February 1st, 2020 12:00 CET (noon)
