The European Commission's (EC) Standardisation Strategy underpins the continent's competitive edge in a world of rapid technological change. This strategy, built on five key pillars, is actively pursued through groundbreaking projects across various sectors like ICT, blockchain, education, and telecommunications. Trust-IT Services & COMMpla are proud to play an instrumental role in these initiatives, fostering innovation, safety, and interoperability to solidify the EU's position in the global market.
One such project is SEEBLOCKS.eu, a pioneering initiative offering funding opportunities for Blockchain/Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) experts.
Standardisation in Blockchain/DLT is critical for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures interoperability. Standardised Blockchain systems can work together seamlessly, eliminating compatibility issues and fostering a more unified ecosystem. Secondly, it strengthens security. Robust security standards are essential for building trust and ensuring the protection of users and their data. Finally, standardisation enables scalability. Effective standards allow Blockchain to adapt and handle increasing demands as adoption grows.
In addition to financial support (up to €10,000), participating in SEEBLOCKS.eu offers several benefits for Blockchain/DLT standardisation specialists. Experts will have the opportunity to directly contribute to shaping the future of this technology in Europe by influencing policy and driving innovation that aligns with the EC's strategic priorities. Their expertise will also be crucial in defining how Blockchain is used and developed across the continent, ensuring European interests are well-represented in global standardisation efforts. SEEBLOCKS.eu allows specialists to focus on their core competency – advancing Blockchain standardisation – by covering the associated costs of their work. Furthermore, the initiative fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange by connecting participants with a network of leading experts in the Blockchain field.
