[AISWorld] Last Call: Blockchain Summer School at IT University of Copenhagen

[Roman Beck]

Are you a PhD or master student interested in Blockchain? Would you like to work with leading organizations such as Maersk Line, Nordea, and SKAT to unleash the full potential of Blockchain?



In the first ever Blockchain summer school this summer in Copenhagen, we will focus on educating students in Blockchain technology to develop solutions within three focal industries. The participants will learn how Blockchain technology is disrupting existing business models and will gain insights in paradigmatic changes occurring from economic, organisational, and computer science viewpoints. As a result, the participants will be able to develop their own, new value creating information systems, which are designed as decentralized autonomous systems. As learning outcomes, the participants will receive computer science, information systems, and business knowledge background in order to analyze existing business processes and their potential to convert them into Blockchain-based solutions. In doing so, they will be able to co-create new Blockchain-based cryptographic economic systems.



Within the summer school, participants will learn how to set up a development environment and how to work with the emergent crowd-funded decentralized Blockchain application platform of Ethereum. They will be able to design and implement their own smart contracts and will code their own dapps (decentralized apps). Once basic Blockchain elements have been introduced, participants will work on their own Blockchain development projects, supported by the participating industry partners. The outcomes will be functioning demonstrators as well as a written documentation and reports that illustrate the business process or transaction realized in a Blockchain implementation and how, in so doing, a real world challenge is addressed.



You will be shown how to code your own smart contracts while working in teams. Due to our generous sponsors, for those who cannot afford the participation fee, ask for a waiver so it will be free of charge for you.
