[cooperation-wg] European Commission tender: study to support the definition phase of the Next Generation Internet initiative

Dear colleagues,

We recently have been notified about the following, which we think this may be an area that RIPE community members have an interest in commenting on. At this stage we do not have more information than what is posted on the webpages mentioned below.

"The European Commission has launched a call for tenders for a service contract to conduct a study to support the definition phase of the Next Generation Internet initiative. In their offer, the tenderer should demonstrate a deep knowledge of the Future Internet area and key applications, from a technical perspective, notably through relevant previous work of similar nature (SMART 2016/0033

The overall objective of the study is to support the definition phase of the Next Generation Internet initiative. This includes developing a concept for a new research and innovation initiative on next generation Internet and engaging with a broader community of stakeholders.”

More information about this tender and the Next Generation Internet Initiative can be found on the Commission’s website:
