Decentralized 2018 summit presented by the University of Nicosia.

Following the success of Decentralized 2017 in Cyprus which had been organized by the University of Nicosia, the same University has come yet again with another Decentralized summit, Decentralized 2018. Decentralized 2018 will be a two day Blockchain summit taking place in Athens, Greece at Divani Caravel hotel starting from November 14th to 16th. This event will bring together more than 1000 attendees from around the World and 70+ speakers to share knowledge and ideas on the innovation of Blockchain Technology as well as it's political implications.

Blockchain Education;

Blockchain Technology keeps growing everyday as more industries adopt it because of the attributes of efficiency, cost reduction among others that come with it. This as a result increases the demand of Blockchain skills in these industries. Academic institutions of learning have come up to help with this gap by offering Blockchain and cryptocurrency studies. But one institution that caught everyone's attention was the University of Nicosia which carries all the firsts when it comes to Blockchain education. This was the first university to accept bitcoin as payment for tuition, the first university to offer an online course on cryptocurrency, the first university to offer a full academic degree in blockchain, and just of recent it became the first university to publish diplomas of it's graduates on the bitcoin blockchain.

This has earned the University of Nicosia the title of the 'Biggest Contributor to the Rise of Blockchain in 2018', an award it received at the annual Blockchain expo held in Amsterdam in June this year 2018. The university is the largest in Cyprus with more than 10,000 students which has helped in the increase of students pursuing studies in Blockchain Technology. Those that have graduated in Blockchain have gone on to work for leading Blockchain organizations around the world proving the success of the initiative of the University of Nicosia in growing Blockchain Technology through education
