Crypto economics is a new discipline born after the rise of virtual currencies and distributed ledger technologies, and is rapidly developing in a unique intersection between computing, cryptography, law, economics, and game theory. The school aims at disseminating knowledge about the foundations and the applications of these technologies to researchers, PhD students, scholars and technologists in industry and academia, not excluding under- or new graduates with strong technical drive and a sufficient background.
SCHOOL VENUE
The school will be hosted at the Technology Park of Sardinia in Pula (Italy). Some travel information are available here: https://www.sardegnaricerche.it/index.php?xsl=370&s=101852&v=2&c=3826&nc=1&sc=

The school plans for a maximum of 30 attendees; the attendance to the school is FREE, while travel and accommodation expenses are to be paid by participants (there are several affordable accommodations in Pula or in Cagliari).
