I'm responsible as you mentioned for internet Innovation and innovation and society so we do the research about the question. What does the internet internet does with this earth as? individuals as companies as society and so One main fact of course is to handle technology new technology comes up blockchain and even in the area of blockchain for science the idea came up and so The idea of the Humboldt Institute is to focus on these kinds of questions and Find out which are the main points where we could support these ideas and so That was one of the first days when Zürnke started a research group in our Institute And we had round tables and talked about how could we use the blockchain technology even for science and so the idea was to discuss this and I'm very happy that Zürnke had their initiative to do this conference course to bring people together and from all areas from friendly other research institutes and So from experts from the scene that is also our impact to bring together Different disciplines, so I'm one of the directors of that Institute coming from computer science and other colleagues director colleagues come from law from Societal Research from business administration research, so we try to bring together all these ideas and doing research on a broader base And one of our first projects, I guess while that open science books Road with one of our colleagues Sasha Frisike is coming tomorrow I heard and so I'm I'm very proud about that even if I'm not the author, but You have 458,000 downloads on Springer So that's number one and one of the first ones who was open It's was a kind of an open book download book So if you know it never had that download currently, so I'm just Maybe you can close their 460,000 gap during these days so and Yeah, now blockchain for science and this conference the idea was to find out what blockchain can do for science and knowledge creation and so to analyze the impact of science and knowledge creation and Even it could help us to to find new ways maybe of funding research With blockchain technology or share data So to be sure that the one who owned the data and the one who uses the data Have the right track and history on that case And so that might be one point which is going to be discussed in the conference or in one of the workshops Which will start so our ideas and examples was to think about how to use blockchain technology for data but also for links identities of researchers and other cases which might come up and so our focus is to have more safety on data we use for science and So that could be one perspective in that area and of course we are thinking about new funding models in research using blockchain technology and so At this time we did not only analyze and research the field We tried to influence it and this conference and so in case a vision is to build up her a Community which is influencing their blockchain for science idea and so We would foster in that conference cooperation of course Between people and institutes prevent wallet gardens as you said it's an open open talk conference and so we try to open up our minds and This is an integral part of this effort this conference, which is starting today and even Berlin you have seen we are part of the Berlin Science Week and Even Berlin is in a perfect Situation and condition cause we have a lot of successful initiatives here started in Berlin and so I'm happy that we have that conference that you decided to start the conference here Cat you could do that anywhere, but you decided for Berlin And so I'm very happy and we have a lot of initiative bonus block for example Coming up with a maybe a new German blockchain law and so there are a lot of initiatives situated here and And we have the chance to look how to enable these idea even blockchain for science idea and so let's start with that conference and Even blockchain Might have been a kind of a hype with a very high peak during the last year maybe lots of you got a lot of bitcoins and So the the crypto economy craziness how you call that That ended maybe beginning of this year after downslope But now we are sure that we are in the hype corp now on the stable plateau About blockchain blockchain for science and so we can have a fundamental claim of blockchain to to drive that to a real successful story and Just end with a kind of an outlook Maybe you have seen and heard that this conference is followed by a lot of meet-ups small conferences workshops hackathons even at my institute and Also on code Academy and other partners in Berlin.
