From 29 November to 1 December 2021, the NGI Policy Summit will bring together some of the world’s leading internet researchers, policymakers and change-makers to discuss their bold visions for the future of the internet in a series of fireside chats.
Organised by NGI Forward for the European Commission’s NGI Initiative, this year’s Policy Summit will be an online-only event, giving you the flexibility to engage at your own pace. Join the conversation live through our built-in audience chat, dedicated speaker Q&As and interactive Salons, or watch our curated interviews in your own time after the event.
Speakers will include Marietje Schaake, Dame Wendy Hall, Peter Pomerantsev, Bart Groothuis, Julia Reda, Cory Doctorow, Xiaowei Wang, Mohan Gandhi, Alice Munyua, Sophie Bloemen, Paul Keller, Alek Tarkowksi, Ethan Zuckerman and Katja Bego.
The Policy Summit will discuss how we can build an alternative model for the future of the internet through the lens of three overarching themes: keeping the internet global; building a sustainable, interoperable internet, and reclaiming the internet as a public good.
DAY 1 — MONDAY, NOV 29 - Keeping the internet global
What is Europe’s role in shaping a global internet? What is the role of standard-setting and new governance models in shaping a better future internet? We will discuss the promise and peril of digital sovereignty, threats to network integrity and resilience, and different approaches to trust and disinformation online.
DAY 2 — TUESDAY, NOV 30 - A sustainable, interoperable internet
How can we build an internet that is open, inclusive and sustainable? We will discuss how Europe can drive forward the transition towards a greener and more equitable internet. Our conversations will explore how abstract ideas like interoperability and decentralisation can be applied to create a more democratic, human-centric internet and what more Europe can do to support the open source community.
DAY 3 — WEDNESDAY, DEC 1 - The internet as a public good
Can public digital infrastructure and commons-based approaches help us reclaim the internet as a public good that serves everyone, everywhere? What are the tangible next steps we can take to truly remake our digital economy? We will talk about the role of digital identity and consider the importance of inclusive innovation and good data governance.
