Overview
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.
In this Deep Dive into Blockchain - Linking Economics, Technology and Law summer school programme from UZH International Summer Schools, you will:
- Get to know how blockchain-based systems work.
- Understand the economic incentives as the basis of blockchain-based systems.
- Learn to critically assess the decisions taken when designing blockchain technologies.
- Learn from experts in academia and industry, and obtain hands-on experience in both established and advancing technologies.
