Project Summary

<< Background >>

Blockchain is a disruptive technology with innovative business models and new markets emerging continuously. When the proposal was submitted (things are improving nowadays), it was characterized by the lack of proper educational material. Material available online provided a fragmented view leading to a lack of knowledge of its potential benefits in terms of growth and innovation, as well as the lack of skills in the area. DLT4ALL contributed mitigating this challenge.

<< Objectives >>

DLT4All is addressing the lack of European entrepreneurs, students, angel-investors and incubator managers in understanding and exploiting blockchain technologies. It aimed to co-create and deploy with the above target groups an innovative curriculum of 8 blockchain based courses with a lean-training and personalized implementation methodology, accompanied by a relevant foresight exercise including policy-making recommendations, a marketing sustainability strategy and a final conference.

<< Implementation >>

The implementation of DLT4ALL was organized around 11 Work Packages. The first 18 months, the work was conducted according to the approved plan after the departure of one of the partners. With the emergence of the pandemic, all online activities were moved online including the face-to-face training that was one of our main deliverables. More details can be found within the final report and the individual deliverables. Please see https://dlt4all.eu/deliverables/ with password DLT4ALL-2021.

<< Results >>

The first 18 months, the results focused on the co-design and preparation of the curriculum along with the design of the offline/online methodology (had to be modified with pandemic). All thematic priorities were covered while engaging all target groups. The delivery of all activities ranging from dissemination events (> 30) training (>150 hours) and final conference, resulted in the engagement of several thousand of blockchain enthusiasts in the project and contributing to the knowledge space.
