Interested in diving into blockchain, cryptocurrencies, web3, NFTs, DeFi and other related areas? Join the Malta Blockchain Summer School 2023 between 17 and 27 July.
Blockchain emerged at the peak of the 2008 financial crisis, amidst the complete collapse of trust in 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 an ongoing continual exploration and has recently won mainstream attention. In that sense, the blockchain space is in constant flux and presents many unexplored challenges and dilemmas that we will visit, explain, analyse and demystify.
Talks will be given by an interdisciplinary team of computer science, business, economics, legal and academics from other disciplines, as well as industry experts, blockchain professionals and creatives. We will, therefore, offer an immersive interdisciplinary experience, where the technology, philosophy, economics and law of blockchain and related sectors will unfold.
Beyond traditional lectures, we have prepared an active learning experience that includes workshops, hands on experimentation, invited talks, panel discussions and wider interactions.
Some of the topics we will cover include:
- Introduction to Blockchain
- Tokens and Tokenomics
- Smart Contract Programming
- Consensus Mechanisms
- Blockchain use cases and business models
- Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCA)
- The Law of Non-Fungible Tokens
In order to join the Malta Blockchain Summer School you must already be able to demonstrate a sufficient background in one (or more) of the following or related areas: business, finance, management, economics, law, computer science, software, IT or another related area. Whilst a first degree in such an area is required, sufficient experience may make up for the lack of a first degree. Interviews may be required to ensure that all participants can get the most out of the summer school.
Tech affinity, while welcome, is not a requirement. We have designed our Summer School without making any assumptions of prior technical knowledge.
Admitted candidates will have to pay a fixed tuition fee of €700. The tuition fee covers the cost of all the academic activities (classes, workshops, invited talks, panel discussions etc), as well as final assessment, certificate and 5 ECTS accreditation. In order to secure your place, payment should reach us by 7 July 2023.
To apply, send your CV to via email.
