We look forward to continuing the journey and exploring how blockchain is transforming economics, technology and law in these 3 weeks. #DDiB26 #deepdiveintoblockchain #Blockchain #Technology #Innovation #DigitalEconomy #FinTech #Learning #SummerSchool

A key insight from the session was that opportunities do not come from technology alone. They come to those who understand the change and are prepared to act.

We are delighted to share that the 7th International Summer School: Deep Dive into Blockchain has officially started this week. This year, we are joined by 120+ students from around the world, participating across three formats:

Thanks to all participants & partners for contributing to this timely & thought-provoking discussion. Claudio J. Tessone | Jonathan Ledgard | Lena Robra | Kaushik Raju | Nicola von Schroeter | Francis Cheneval | Benjamin Kraner | Millie Chapman | Cem Leon Menase | Saskia Stucki

& practical starting points needed to move from concept to implementation. It also marked a meaningful step towards collectively building new approaches at the intersection of technology, biodiversity, and planetary stewardship.
