# Overview

Blockchain is on everyone’s lips ‒ not least because the Crypto Valley stretching from Zug to Zurich is one of the global centres for this technology. But what is the story behind the new «Internet of Value»? What can this technology already do? What are its strengths, weaknesses, risks and areas of potential?

The CAS in Blockchain at the University of Zurich looks at these questions and in doing so addresses the topic at a uniquely wide-ranging level: computer scientists, lawyers, economists and financial specialists from the University of Zurich have joined forces to teach participants the technical basics as well as provide  them with legal tools and economic knowledge about the applications. In doing so, they are able to call on first-hand experience from academic blockchain projects, consulting activities and company start-ups.

CAS Blockchain

Wichtig scheint im Umgang mit Hype-Technologien, nicht einfach nach neuen Anwendungen zu suchen. Vielmehr sollte umgekehrt gefragt werden, ob uns die Blockchain nicht helfen kann, ein definiertes Problem zu lösen. Darum fokussiert sich das Blockchain Center der Universität Zürich darauf, die spezifischen Eigenschaften dieser Technologie auch in der Weiterbildung zu vermitteln. Es werden Bausteine geschaffen, die helfen, die Blockchain für praxisnahe Anwendungen zu nutzen.

When dealing with hype technologies, it seems important not to simply look for new applications. Rather, we should ask whether blockchain can help us solve a defined problem. That is why the Blockchain Center at the University of Zurich focuses on communicating the specific characteristics of this technology in continuing education as well. Building blocks are created that help to use the Blockchain for practical applications.
