About the Project

BC4ECO aims at assisting professionals in Computer Science, Design and Environmental Engineering in utilising novel approaches for tackling climate challenges through Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs). The project aims to cultivate an innovative and decentralised approach to education that goes beyond a learner’s technical abilities, emphasising the importance of shifting learners’ mindest towards employing creative and critical thinking to tackle intricate and systemic challenges.

Key results for BC4ECO will be the development of a Pedagogical Framework and a novel curriculum “Blockchain for Sustainability” that will be tested in 2 different Summer Schools. In collaboration with Tallinn University of Technology and the University of Limerick, the Service Design Lab will develop different resources (course materials, MOOCs, tools & methods), that will inform the curriculum design and will be tested throughout different multiplier events. Eventually, we wish to raise awareness of the importance of creative ways of working with complexity and the environment and reach out to many Higher Educational Institutions in Europe.
