Eva is in vestigating collaborations between scientists\, business partners and gove rnment in the context of technology development and scientific innovations . One of these investigated innovations is Blockchain. Blockchain technolo gy is already applied in several fields\; it is widely accepted and used\, but organizations are busy innovating to be able to use Blockchain in the ir services. Why would someone use Blockchain? What are the current resear ch projects focusing on this technology? This presentation will give you a short overview on the different perspectives of how people see this techn ology and summarize the questions currently researched or should be resear ched regarding Blockchain.
