the <b>social applications enabled by distributed ledger technologies</b>. It aims at tacking stock of existing activities in this emerging field, considering their regulatory and standardisation implications, as well as defining a roadmap of how the European
Commission can contribute to these developments, in particular through Horizon 2020 research actions. The line-up of speakers includes experts and practitioners, as well as policy makers and civil society.
