Summer School
The Crypto and Blockchain Economics Research (CBER) Forum, Columbia University's Center for Digital Finance and Technologies (CDFT) and the DLT Science Foundation held the inaugural Blockchain Economics Summer School on the 20th and 21st June 2024 at Columbia University in New York City. We provided the tools necessary for such researchers to actively contribute to the blockchain economics literature. The attendees received instruction from leading researchers and took part in social events to network with the speakers. It was a thought-provoking 2 day Summer School at the CBER-CDFT-DSF.
Stimulating presentations from:
- Fahad Saleh from University of Florida on Introduction to Ethereum
- Andreas Park from University of Toronto on Decentralized Exchanges
- Agostino Capponi from Columbia University on Proposer-Builder-Separation

We look forward to the research and other magic coming out of the summer school. We could not have done it without our amazing students and lecturers!
This summer school was targeted towards junior scholars including untenured faculty, post-doctoral researchers and especially PhD students.
