Education is key to put blockchain to good use
“We were impressed with the education initiatives the EBA has launched and especially love the prospect to cooperate with other educators in the EDUDAO project, ” says Nikos Dsakalakis, Academic Coordinator for the EoB Programme. “We see a lot of potential for our students to profit from the real-life experience of the EBA members and experts. In a field that is evolving as fast as the blockchain ecosystem, it is essential to continuously subject academic knowledge to a reality check. After all, we want our students to be successful in this growing industry.”
“When it comes to blockchain knowledge, there still lies a lot of work ahead. Especially important for students will be the ability to distinguish the signal from the noise as there is a growing number of self-proclaimed experts and profiteers trying to exploit the uniformed. Really understanding the latest advancements in the technology and the potential – good and bad – of its use cases is absolute key”, adds Dr. Michael Gebert, Chairman of the EBA. “Be it in our cooperations within the Erasmus programme or cooperations with institutions like the Panteion University’s EoB programme we count ourselves very lucky to have the opportunity to work together with the academic and scientific community.”
