## Summary

The European Decentralisation Institute presents itself as a think tank for the decentralised economy, arguing that decentralisation is now a strategic necessity for Europe rather than a technological curiosity. The site says decentralised technologies can address systemic challenges in energy resilience, supply chain transparency, digital identity and AI governance that centralised control alone cannot solve. Its stated work covers data sovereignty, decentralised finance, decentralised physical infrastructure (DePIN) and citizen-centric digital identity, which it engages with policymakers, elected officials and industry leaders. The page does not provide dates, figures or named policy outcomes.

## Comments

**macbudkowski.eth**: Learned about them because they received a grant from EF. I hope they did more than just write this Manifesto :)

**curl.ytocin.eth**: Always good to have more communication to policymakers regarding what we do here, but I gotta admit that LinkedIn being the only communication method for the leaders is worrying. At least link to an ENS!

**macbudkowski.eth**: Maybe this is what we need... We are all hanging out on Twitter and Telegram, but suits are more prone to look at LinkedIn :) 

**curl.ytocin.eth**: I guess this kind of draws to one of the core problems of Ethereum culture, inside our circles we're very tightly knit, but in other communities like LinkedIn and Facebook most fulltime developers are never seen

In either case, even just contacting MEPs and local policy leaders is a big first step!

**macbudkowski.eth**: That's why ETHRealize, EEA and Joe Lubin's work is so precious. I hope we'd double down our efforts, especially in the EU since our politicians are not as open to tech as Americans.
