Project description
Nurturing the healthy growth of the internet and new technologies
The evolution of the internet over the past 20 years is proof that it can make life better. The internet architecture of the future relies on many groups and research initiatives. In fact, numerous third parties are required to fund the open internet architecture. The solutions include hardware, protocols and software to assess needs and improve capabilities, such as improving network performance, improving energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact or meeting new application demands. The EU-funded NGI0 Core project will make it possible for the EU to play a key role in establishing the evolutionary path of the internet, its architecture and novel technologies. It will do this by improving internet architecture for public benefit and internet health.
Objective
We fund a large amount of third parties to review and upgrade the open Internet architecture (hardware, software, protocols) to increase the performance of the network, adapt it to new application requirements, improve quality of service, make it more resilient to security threats, more energy efficient and respectful of the environment (e.g. reparability, recyclability), and increasingly supportive of open and decentralised technologies and services.
With the size of the budget available and our methodology, NGI0 Core involves 150 000 to 300 000 person hours of directly funded human effort contributed to the public benefit and the good of the internet. A multiple of that will be generated indirectly within the ecosystem around open source and standards. NGI0 Foundations is important to set the course of the evolution of technology and strengthening the role of Europe within future developments. In all this we benefit from decades of experience, including significant experience gained within the various NGI efforts we have supported.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
