BIG team members Nuno Nunes, Luís Caires, Valentina Nisi, Mariana Pestana, Miguel Matos, Miguel Pardal, and David Matos visited Politecnico di Milano (Polimi) and the Blockchain & Web3 Observatory on 3-4 April 2024. Politecnico di Milano (Polimi) is a core European partner of the BIG ERA Chair project. The Blockchain & Web3 Observatory is a laboratory of the Digital Innovation Observatories of the School of Management at Polimi.
The workshop was hosted at MADE, a technology transfer hub at Polimi, by Pierluigi Plebani (Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria). The event opened with overview talks by Giacomo Vella on Blockchain & Web3 Observatory research and Luís Caires on ongoing and future project BIG activities.
The program (listed below) also included research talks by Polimi faculty and BIG project team members. Some topics under discussion included how the Bauhaus of the Seas framework could become a pilot for testing DLT solutions for sustainability, storytelling and even novel models for interspecies collaboration and novel approaches to using zero-knowledge proofs to certify computations on open-source databases.
This BIG ERA Chair activity project is part of its working plan for developing the research capacity of Instituto Superior Técnico and its associate research units INESC-ID and LARSYS through knowledge exchanges with excellent research centres in Europe.
