The course is expected to run as a collaboration between CBS and University of Copenhagen.
Blockchain, mostly known as the backbone technology behind Bitcoin, is one of the hottest and most intriguing technologies currently in the market. Similar to the impact of the internet, blockchain has the potential to truly disrupt multiple industries by making transactions and processes more democratic, secure, transparent, and efficient. Entrepreneurs, startup companies, investors, global organizations, and governments have all identified blockchain as a revolutionary technology. Building on this vision, students will explore how the capabilities and the underlying mechanism of blockchain can be applied to generate economic and social value. This course highlights central topics of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. It is designed to familiarize students with the foundations of blockchain technology and its key application areas. In addition, the course seeks to provide hands-on experience in applying blockchain technology to developing novel insights and turning them into prototypes. |
