Programmes Deployment: Best use of technologies

The European Blockchain Sandbox has opened its third round of calls for innovative use cases involving Distributed Ledger Technologies. Public entities and private sector companies in the European Economic Area, including start up and scale-ups, can now apply for the third cohort of the European Blockchain Sandbox with innovative use case projects.

The Sandbox was launched by the European Commission in 2023 to provide a confidential platform for innovative blockchain use cases involving Distributed Ledger Technologies. It gives projects the chance to engage in discussions with regulators and authorities at both national and EU level. It aims to help projects understand novel regulation issues, increase legal certainty and contribute to the development of best practices.

The European Blockchain Sandbox supports 20 projects annually over a three year period, and is open to use cases across the EU/EEA based on any blockchain infrastructure. Blockchain use cases will be selected based on a number of criteria, including the maturity of their business case and their legal/regulatory relevance and contribution to the EU’s wider policy priorities. 

Deadline for applications is 31 January 2025.

EURHISFIRM - Long-term data for Europe

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.

The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
