ABSTRACT
Empowering Networks through Decentralisation: Blockchain Applications for Education
Autonomy, indepedence from centralised power and objective truth are values which have been expoused by academia for centuries. Using a mixture of theoretical scenarios and actual live applications, Mr. Camilleri will examine how blockchain affirms these same values, and hence how decentralized ledgers can empower educational institutions and networks in their key mission of creating and democratizing knowledge.
