Malta Blockchain Summer school (MBS) 2.0
During the summer of 2022 the Centre for Distributed Ledger Technologies organised its first ever Blockchain Summer School! Encouraged by the success of this first summer school, a second edition will be taking place this summer, between July 17 and July 27.
Blockchain emerged at the peak of the 2009 financial crisis, amidst the complete collapse of trust on established financial institutions. It has since revolutionised aspects of the financial sector, and has the potential to challenge many other sectors. It has questioned the power and supremacy of controlling entities, middlemen and intermediaries. It has elevated peer-to-peer trust to unprecedented heights and has questioned traditional notions of business deployment and development. The basic premise of blockchain systems, namely the creation of ‘trustless’ trust, is ongoing continual exploration and has only recently won mainstream attention. In that sense, the Blockchain space is in constant flux and represents an amazing unexplored universe that we want to visit, explain, analyse and demystify.
Talks will be given by an interdisciplinary team of computer science, economics, legal and other academics, as well as industry experts, blockchain professionals and creatives. We will, therefore, offer an immersive interdisciplinary experience, where the technology, philosophy, economics and the law of blockchain and related immersive technologies will unfold.
Beyond traditional lectures, we have prepared an active learning experience that includes workshops, hands on experimentation, invited talks, panel discussions and wider actions.
Some of the main topics we will cover include:
- Introduction to Blockchain
- Tokens and Tokenomics
- Smart Contract Programming
- Consensus Mechanisms
- Blockchain use cases and business models
- Markets in Cryptoassets Regulation (MiCA)
- The Law of Non-Fungible Tokens
