Overview
This online Summer School will give you a complete immersion into the topic of blockchain from world-leading experts and practitioners in the field. Blockchain-based systems, with cryptocurrencies as the most prominent example, have disrupted and reshaped the way we now think about digital finance and other similar applications, such as supply chains. Blockchain and related technologies allow to store sequential, trustful information without enforced consensus by central authorities or trustees.
For a full understanding of Blockchain, with all its implications and potential for application in practice, it is absolutely crucial to look at it from a multidisciplinary perspective. This is exactly what the UZH Blockchain Center offers during the three weeks of this course: you will understand the three key pillars of blockchain systems, namely the technology, the economics and the legal aspects behind it. Building on this, we will then explore other fields of application, such as forensics and data analytics.
The course is taught by different professors and lecturers from UZH and other leading universities worldwide, as well as top practitioners from various fields. This program is highly interactive, with hands-on practice sessions incorporating the most advanced and promising blockchain-based platforms.
In this Summer School, you will:
- get to know the past, present and future development of the Swiss financial system and the wealth management in Switzerland.
- enhance your knowledge in macroeconomics and finance (financial instruments, asset classes, portfolio management, behavioral finance).
- learn from scientists and practitioners about the most recent and promising trends in FinTech and Sustainable Finance.
- test and apply your gained knowledge in a portfolio management game.
