Blockchain in the university

n recent days, UNED (National University of Distance Education) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV / EHU) have presented a new project entitled "Blockchain University". The project is an initiative for the transfer of knowledge promoted by UNED and its goal is the expansion of blockchain technology; as well as transferring knowledge to social value using chained and encrypted data technology.

Thus, the University of the Blockchain is a new step in promoting the competitiveness of Spanish professionals in a changing global environment. The purpose of this program is to organize seminars that will be open to the general society, and specifically to the university community, for the dissemination and dissemination of this technology, as well as the creation of additional academic initiatives.

According to UNED, therefore, the challenge is knowledge transfer, with social value, using encrypted and encrypted data technology. In fact, in a dissemination article by Germán Ruipéez, co-director of the UNED researcher and "Blockchain University", the author confirmed:

- "In 2019, the European blockchain market will grow to 609 million euros, a growth of 51% compared to 2018".

- "In 2020, 15% of European regions will launch pilot voting projects through Blockchain platforms."

- "By 2020, 150 million people around the world will manage their digital identity through Blockchain-based platforms for their mobile phones."

With these predictions, it is clear that UNED is interested in creating this university. For his part, Ruipérez mentioned that technology allows creating platforms that automate tasks such as data verification, because those tasks would no longer be done by people. Finally, he stated: "The data that manages these platforms make it impossible to fraudulently manipulate or manipulate them."

Universities and Blockchain

UNED is familiar with Blockchain technology because it has initiatives focused on the deployment of this technology. These initiatives include a radio station that broadcasts on the subject. Likewise, the University of the Basque Country is a pioneer in the certification based on blockchain technology, as the center stated at the Estudnabar 2018 conference in Bilbao.

But they are not the only ones. Other universities are making different proposals at the academy to blockchain. For example, the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, known for its level of excellence, opened a blockchain diploma. Similarly, in Chile, another home of study, the University of the Border (Universidad de la Frontera), is offering a diploma in Digitalization and New Business: Industry 4.0, which focuses on blockchain technology.

Also, another university has made it possible to incorporate Blockchain technology into its processes. It is the National University of Colombia. This will lead a pilot program to deliver its first academic certificates through the Blockchain.

To conclude, this year Tsinghu University, located in Beijing, China, announced that it will partner with Ri-pple to provide a blockchain technology research fellowship for Chinese students graduating in 2019.

What is Blockchain?

You've probably heard the term Blockchain everywhere and you don't attach much importance to it because you don't understand its meaning. In fact, blockchain is a concept that has been in vogue for some time now, but very little is known about its operation. Below we will answer some questions about this.

Blockchain is a concept that proposes a revolution in our economy, as well as in any field from day to day. How it works is not so easy and as it is a term that is being used worldwide, it is necessary to know what it is about.

The blockchain concept and technology emerged in 2009 with the advent of Bitcoins; in other words, blockchain is the technology behind this virtual coin, but it can be separated by doing other things. For example, make other cryptocurrencies (interchangeable virtual currencies and any other traditional currency) that may be based on the same principles, but may have other features due to the algorithm or changed currency policies.

Blockchain can also be used to create other types of value representation. They are known as tokens, and can essentially be used as part of an ecosystem to participate in a service or utility. An example is a casino where its tokens (tokens) are later purchased for use on its machines and restaurants.

Availability

Blockchains enable data transfer in a completely secure way thanks to highly sophisticated encryption. It is usually compared to an accounting book of a company, where all the cash flows and outflows are registered. But in this case, it's a digital event book.

This transfer does not require the means of verifying and accepting the information, but rather is divided into separate nodes (users), which register and validate. Thus, once information is entered, it cannot be deleted; only new records can be added. Moreover, it will not be legalized unless at least a majority agree.

Basically, blockchain eliminates the media, decentralizing all of its management. Process control is the responsibility of the users and they are part of a large bank of millions of nodes. He is a member and manager of the bank account book for each of them.
