| additional remarks | The potential of blockchain systems reaches far beyond cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (Swan 2015): smart contracts (Buterin 2014), decentralized autonomous organizations (Jentzsch) or new systems of governance (Reijers et al. 2016). The potential for the public sector is obvious: any forms of registers that need to be publicly auditable with transaction histories safe from manipulation are suitable for blockchain based implementations. These could be land registries, personal IDs, banking transactions, insurances, patient records, certificates of birth, etc. In this course you get an introduction in the basic concepts (Wattenhofer 2016),an overview of blockchain systems, currently used in practice as well as an technical introduction into one system, Ethereum. Together with industry partners, we teach you the technical basics in an intense introductory phase, including practical exercises to help you understand the theoretical concepts. In the second part, you will form groups to work on a „challenge“ from the public sector and develop a prototype. During this phase, we also plan for a hackathon with talks by partners and a demo-night (to be decided). We want to use the results! Successful groups will have the chance to participate in an field trial after the course. Together with the “Erprobungsraum” (~ lab) Rhein-Neckar and some public IT service providers we will deploy some of the prototypes in a test environment. |
