SEEBLOCKS.eu is a 24-month Digital Europe Programme project that aims at delivering a targeted, democratic, industry-driven initiative to support European interests in Standardisation within the Blockchain/DLT domain, bringing together EU researchers and open standards specialists, along with industry and policy experts. An experienced and well-networked consortium will implement an impact-focused and mature workplan in the interests of the European blockchain/DLT constituencies and initiatives, tapping into a multi-disciplinary group of experts (funded through ha series of 4 recurring Open Calls) to facilitate streamlined and effective Standardisation processes through cooperation and collaboration, which are key features necessary to guarantee continued dialogue from a regulatory, governmental, policy, business and technology perspective.
