BlockNet - Blockchain Network Online Education for interdisciplinary European Competence Transfer

Erasmus+ project executed by the Software Engineering and Information Systems.

The fundamental goal of BlockNet is the development and implementation in practice of an interdisciplinary Blockchain Technology (BCT) Small Network Online Course (SNOC). To date, there are no interdisciplinary courses providing students of different majors with knowledge of BCT, its applications and impact on business environments, as well as comprehensive essential skills to be prepared for the interdisciplinary work they will face in future projects.

The project is started at the backdrop of paradigmatic changes in the technology landscape, where BCT is emerging as one of the most hyped, but also most promising innovations of recent years –agreeing on that we notice a strongly growing demand for experts and personnel with a wide range of backgrounds and skills in the field of BCT. The growing number of Blockchain Projects and expectations towards the technology highlight the need for a comprehensive understanding of how this new technology is affecting and improving existing structures and relationships in business environment. The project will prepare European students and help them to gather the knowledge and skills needed to exploit new market opportunities and to be prepared for changes in employment trends.
