Description

While blockchain-based applications such as Bitcoin are still in their infancy, a dramatic increase in industrial and academic interest in blockchain technology is evident. In addition, start-ups, as well as industry initiatives, are presently working intensely on blockchain-based innovations, making the technology one of the most promising drivers of innovation in many sectors and industries. However, the design and implementation of blockchain-based systems requires know-how in various areas, as well as mindful consideration of larger economic and societal issues. These objectives provide the starting point for this summer school.

Students interested in participating in the summer school must be enrolled as PhD or Master students in a computer science, information systems, engineering or other cognate program at a university. Recent Master graduates are also eligible to apply. At least introductory programming experience is a requirement. Attending PhD students can receive ECTS points if they fulfil certain criteria.
