Description: In the second version of the European Interoperability Framework (EIF), adopted in 2010 the European Commission introduced the concept of “Interoperability Governance.” The current EIF, published in 2017, describes interoperability governance as incorporating the “decisions on interoperability frameworks, institutional arrangements, organizational structures, roles and responsibilities, policies, agreements and other aspects of ensuring and monitoring interoperability at national and EU levels.” We would like attendees to think about the role of standards and interoperability for building and deploying cross-border, trusted and resilient blockchain infrastructure.
