Venue
The Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies Summer School, now in its seventh edition, is dedicated to advancing and disseminating knowledge in the rapidly evolving field of crypto-economics, a discipline that has emerged alongside virtual currencies, blockchain ecosystems, and distributed ledger technologies.
Positioned at the intersection of computing, cryptography, law, economics, and game theory, the field is rapidly evolving and increasingly shaping financial systems, digital governance, and large-scale online coordination mechanisms.
The program combines solid theoretical foundations with the exploration of practical applications, including decentralized protocols, tokenized economies, and the regulatory and societal implications of these technologies. It is primarily intended for researchers, PhD students, scholars, and industry professionals, while also welcoming highly motivated undergraduate and recent graduate students with a strong technical background and a genuine interest in the area.
The 7th Scientific School on Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technologies will be held from 01 to 04 June 2026 in Pula (Sardinia, Italy), Hotel Flamingo Resort.
