The SEEBLOCKS.eu impact event, will be a playground for ICT experts to showcase how the 30 month project has managed to accelerate blockchain standardisation, through dedicated financial support to European experts working diligently in this field, and how blockchain and DLT can serve society as relevant technology enablers.
Blockchain, we have seen, is a turning-point innovation, since it is one of the most novel horizontal IT revolutions that is affecting all industries equally. This disruptive technology, which thanks to its adoption growth is becoming a mainstream technology, can bring lasting benefits to societies at large. To prevail, it requires proper standardisation to reflect the needs of its global users that come across all continents. Moreover, with the growth of blockchain usage, it grows also the demand for blockchain professionals, which directly increases the demand for blockchain skills. It’s momentous to tackle blockchain skills shortages and respond to current and future needs for the exponential demand of a blockchain workforce.
Thanks to SEEBLOCKS.eu 20 European experts were able to contribute to Blockchain/DLT Standardisation efforts, provided blockchain insights and contributed these results in the European Rolling Plan for ICT Standardisation. SEEBLOCKS.eu has also developed an online blockchain training course, to be used as a sustainable service for the DLT/Blockchain community at large for learning and a freely available Standards Visualisation Tool to foster Education and Capacity in Blockchain/DLT Standardisation.
The event is structured such that it delves first into the regulatory aspects that influence DLT & Blockchain activities including the regulatory Acts that have come into force (AI Act, Data Act, European Digital Identity (EUDI), electronic identification, authentication, and trust services (eIDAS), EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW), to name a few). This will be followed by an overview of the technical contributions from SEEBLOCKS.eu experts in bringing the European view to the standardisation efforts.
The event will then focus on providing a voice to those twenty experts to provide the impact their funding has produced and with what lasting results and looking to what next steps are necessary to make sure the investment is long-lasting. This will be coupled with the demonstration of the utility of the Blockchain/DLT Training Course. The day will conclude with a set of SEEBLOCKS.eu prizes being awarded to those outstanding experts who have made a difference in their Blockchain /DLT endeavours.
