The consortium managing the Observatory has been renewed this month. It is now led by the company INTRASOFT International (Luxembourg) with the University of Nicosia and Greece’s National Centre for Research and Technological Development (CERTH).
Description of the call
The renewed Observatory is looking for experts who represent high-level of knowledge and expertise on diverse subjects related to the blockchain ecosystem such as (but not limited to):
-transaction capacities, validation protocols, smart contracts, decentralised storage;
-cybersecurity and cryptography development;
-interoperability and standardisation;
-scalability and integration with legacy systems;
-organisational and governance aspects of blockchain;

The call states that the Observatory strongly encourages “those involved in cross-sectoral applications of blockchain in domains such as finance, Internet of Things, digital identity, energy, transport, healthcare, education and others. The overarching aim is to develop strategies to facilitate the European blockchain industry’s quest to become a global leader in this field in the most complex and overarching manner in order to leverage the potential of blockchain solutions in diverse sectors.”
