BNB Chain, the prominent community-driven blockchain ecosystem, has once again demonstrated its dedication to fostering blockchain education by sponsoring the "Deep Dive into Blockchain Summer School" at the University of Zurich for the third consecutive year. This collaboration ensures that students from across the globe can participate in the program, gaining invaluable insights and skills in blockchain technology.

Global Access to Top Blockchain Education

The University of Zurich's Blockchain Center, ranked among the top three blockchain universities worldwide, benefits significantly from BNB Chain's sponsorship. This financial support allows students, who might otherwise be unable to afford it, to attend the summer school, thus democratizing access to premier blockchain education.

The summer school offers an immersive learning experience where students interact with leading blockchain experts. Through BNB Chain's support, attendees can engage in lectures, hands-on sessions, mentorship, and feedback. The program includes a special module from BNB Chain that challenges students to create innovative solutions on its network. Upon completion, participants receive an NFT certificate, symbolizing their newfound expertise and opening doors to opportunities in the burgeoning blockchain industry.

Empowering Future Blockchain Innovators

BNB Chain's sponsorship goes beyond financial support. The most promising projects developed during the summer school have the potential to be deployed on the BNB Chain, offering students a real-world platform for their innovations. Past summer schools have seen multiple successful projects emerge, establishing themselves within the global blockchain ecosystem—an indicator of the high quality of education and support provided.

Comments from BNB Chain and University Leadership

The BNB Chain Core Development Team emphasized the importance of education in driving the blockchain industry forward and accelerating Web3 adoption. "Through this collaboration, we hope to support more individuals in building cutting-edge Web3 applications on the blockchain," they stated.

Dr. Claudio J. Tessone, Professor of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies at the University of Zurich, praised the partnership. "Having BNB Chain in our Summer School enriches the program. It is one of the most active blockchains, with a rich ecosystem. This continued commitment from BNB Chain allows us to offer high-quality education to students worldwide," he said.

BNB Chain’s Broader Educational Initiatives

This sponsorship is part of BNB Chain's broader suite of programs designed to support blockchain builders and developers.
