T-RIZE Industrial Research Chair on Applications for Sustainable and Practical Blockchain Systems
The T-RIZE Industrial Research Chair on Applications for Sustainable and Practical Blockchain Systems seeks to find novel ways to use blockchain and asset digitization applications outside their traditional fields of use, such as cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFT) for the digital arts.
