European Blockchain Sandbox announces the selected projects for the first cohort

Published on | 7 months ago

Programmes Deployment: Best use of technologies  

The European Regulatory Sandbox for Blockchain was launched in February 2023. Its goal is to provide a controlled environment for companies to test their products and services, while engaging with relevant regulators. It will run from 2023-2026, supporting 20 projects each year. The pan-European sandbox is set up and operated by a consortium of legal experts from Bird & Bird and its consulting arm OXYGY.

The European Commission, Bird and Bird and OXYGY have now announced 20 use-cases for the first cohort of the European Blockchain Sandbox. In a rigorous selection process and matching of use cases with relevant regulators/authorities, the project team aimed to ensure the Sandbox was populated with innovative use cases with a broad range of relevant regulatory topics, able to generate best practices to benefit the broader Blockchain community.

One use case of the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure has been approved by the EBP for participation in the lot for public entities, and 19 additional use cases were selected in accordance with a carefully curated selection process. The selected use cases span all EU/EEA regions and represent a wide range of industry sectors and regulatory topics.

More information and a detailed description of all use-cases can be found in the European Commission's news article.

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
