The\u00a0Next Generation Internet (NGI)\u00a0is an initiative of the European Commission which aim is to develop and evolve the Internet we know, into the Internet for the third millennium and beyond. To re-imagine and re-engineer it into the Internet of Humans. The internet that responds to people\u2019s fundamental needs, values and norms dear to all Europeans, like openness, trust, security, inclusion, transparency, cooperation and protection of data1<\/sup>. Internet of Things, which IoT-NGIN project is dedicated to is a part of the European Next Generation Internet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Internet has become an important part of our lives. Most of us use it for working, learning, public administration services, social activities, shopping and for many other purposes. In the near future it will become even more essential for society and economy around the world. That\u2019s why it is important, that next generation of the Internet is designed for humans, so it can meet its full potential for both the society and economy. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet is still facing many challenges. Most of them relating to personal data and transparency. The Internet of the new generation should address these challenges. It should provide better service. It should also be resilient and sustainable. The European Commission initiative aims to answer all these challenges and IoT-NGIN project is proud to be a part of this journey. The NGI initiative describes the Next Generation Internet on its main website as the Internet of humans, Internet of trust fit for the digital age and Internet that is resilient, sustainable and open1<\/sup>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AN INTERNET OF HUMANS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Next Generation Internet <\/strong>will shape the development and evolution of the Internet into an Internet of Humans, that addresses the people\u2019s fundamental needs, including trust, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and the norms all citizens enjoy in Europe. EC invests in NGI research and innovation supporting researchers and innovators involved in hundreds of projects. The support goes beyond financing, to mentoring and the journey from the idea to a real business. EC also supports top Internet innovators in the areas of Trust and Data Sovereignty on the Internet; Trustworthy Open Search and Discovery; Internet Architecture and Decentralised Technologies; as well as enhanced EU-US and EU-Canada cooperation and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AN\u00a0INTERNET OF TRUST\u00a0FIT FOR THE\u00a0DIGITAL AGE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People\u2019s privacy concerns are considered most important for NGI innovations, as only the Internet that we trust can lay the groundwork for Europe fitting for the Digital Age. NGI supports Europe\u2019s digital transformation by including secure and sustainable digital infrastructures, digital transformation of businesses and public services and digital skills. All of these consider data protection, cybersecurity and electronic identity rules set by the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RESILIENT.\u00a0SUSTAINABLE.\u00a0OPEN.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Next Generation Internet fosters diversity and decentralisation and grows the potential for a\u00a0sustainably open\u00a0environment for our cultures and economies, underlining our values, promoting creativity and respecting the environment. NGI supports the upgrading of Internet infrastructure for better security and privacy. NGI project cover ways to increase network performances and make the Internet more energy efficient. Open-source software is at the heart of many NGI projects which make an important contribution to the open-source community.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IoT-NGIN project aims to unleash the power of Next Generation IoT as an essential dimension of the Next Generation Internet (NGI) and become the \u201cIoT Engine\u201d. The objective of the IoT-NGIN project is to address the challenges of Next-generation IoT and create sustainable innovation towards Next-generation internet by introducing key digital technologies at things level as specified in the figure below.\u00a0 IoT-NGIN aims to become the IoT Engine, which will be a cornerstone for the development of smart and sustainable cities, and in general smart infrastructures and services. It will maintain and increase the EU citizens\u2019 quality of living in smart cities, increase the safety and efficiency in manufacturing, protect the environment by reducing pesticide and water abuse in agricultural activities, enhance smart grid protection, increase personal data privacy, create new jobs in IoT and ensure that the existing ones are sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to achieve its objective, IoT-NGIN is building the following tools for Next-Generation IoT: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
