Both Bank of England and Europol are seeking interns with knowledge of Bitcoin and the blockchain. The announcements, which indicate an increasing awareness of the technologies among European government institutions, follow last month's ruling by the European Court of Justice that Bitcoin transactions are exempt from VAT.
Bank of England will select their interns through an open competition in which university students are invited to submit proposals for new uses of the blockchain. Applicants are invited to work in groups of up to six people to identify new kinds of businesses or products that can be created with the blockchain and to outline the implementation details and impact of those businesses and products.
