New members join the Expert Panel of the European Blockchain Observatory and Forum

expert panel

The Expert Panel provides input to the Observatory’s trend and thematic reports, workshops and other activities, bringing unique expertise in technical, legal and practitioners’ and academic aspects of the technology. You can see the full list of experts who joined us in January here. The group has been operating for half a year now and allows for a cross-sectoral, global and diversified analysis of current blockchain trends and future challenges and opportunities. New experts will extend this expertise and work with us on future reports and other activities. As usual, the experts were chosen with expertise, gender and geographical balance in mind and we are honoured to have such high-level members.  This engagement lasts for an initial period of one year.

Thank you to everyone who sent their application, we carefully considered each and one of them. We tried to select those that intersect with focus areas of this edition of the Observatory and bring diverse, global expertise to the project.
