The 2nd international conference on Blockchain For Science, Research and Knowledge Creation

NEW DEALS - ON DATA, INNOVATION, SCIENCE FUNDING

International projects, speakers, science stakeholders, publisher, liberians, techies lawyers and entrepreneurs will discuss the future of science - again.

Blockchain and the token economy can create unforeseen economies and allows realisation of novel value propositions. Reward structures for early adopters could make revolutionary approaches and ideas fly faster and higher than today, hopefully overcoming the first mover dilemma and potentially the innovators dilemma.

Blockchain as a mean to perform high value transactions is the perfect backend to revolutionise money flow in science, make it more effective, streamlined and reduce the organisational overhead. DAOs and continuous organisations are interesting means to (re-)organise the science commons. Potentially far beyond what we dreamed of in open science movements. Isn´t decentralization and user autonomy perfect open science?

Blockchain data market places will bring data owners and data users together. Novel economies and incentive structures emerge. Smart contracts and trusted computing environments allow rethinking trust and responsibility behind data access, control and privacy – is our culture and legal system able to cope with these challenges and potentials?
