The study/procurement should enable mobilising ad-hoc expertise and to collect facts and figures in a flexible way to support the EU Blockchain initiative. The study should reinforce or complement the work of the EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum, while providing useful and meaningful inputs for the deployment of a EU Blockchain Infrastructure in 2019. The outcome will also be used for elaborating, legitimating and implementing approaches and specific actions. They will contribute to the overarching policy and funding actions for the next multi financial framework. They should be used for the EC engagement with diversified constituencies and for dissemination purposes.
