I think that blockchain technology will always be important, that it will be used for various trading platforms.

That this technology is developed in universities is a good idea, since in countries where this technology is more developed they can develop new features to improve this system, such as improving privacy, speed and perhaps the commissions to use it. We must not forget the implementation of this technology to banks.

In less developed countries, this technology can be very important for solving theft, corruption or possible hacking problems by computer organizations.

 I think that knowledge of Blockchain is a necessity in universities.

It might be, the way I see this is for storing students' information, transactions to their registrars, and blockchain to support the overall university's system. Especially to make sure that their records will be invulnerable, and reliable just like the way how blockchain helped supply chain systems and cryptocurrency.

There are tons of ways how blockchain could be implemented and I think it might be applicable to universities as well.


Like this, if someone intends to fake his diploma, universities could have a decentralized system to validate the authenticity of the applicants whenever they are applying for jobs.

Moreover, this technology is very suitable for the future. Many aspects can be combined with blockchain, its many and flexible functions enable the creation of unique new niches. Conventional systems can be improved in effectiveness, thereby saving time, energy, accuracy, and other technical matters.

Likewise in universities or the world of education in general, the adoption of blockchain is very likely to occur. For example to facilitate the validation of diplomas, the authenticity of scientific work, so as to minimize the existence of plagiarism or forgery.

I believe that teaching blockchain is necessary for students who need to have this knowledge for their profession. there is no point in teaching technology in all schools in a row. Any side can follow the example of the United States, where the well-known University of California, Santa Barbara, is already leading certified courses on blockchain and distributed registry technology. Of course, this all happened thanks to the non-profit organization BAF, which is interested in teaching students from the departments of computer science. in any case, with the increase in the introduction of blockchain in various spheres of human life, it will entail a greater demand for specialists and then indisputably specialized educational institutions will make changes to their curriculum, adding to the study of blockchain technology.

The question of the OP is too general but blockchain technology can be applied in various industries and education/universities is no exception. Just like what you presented in the India's implementation of blockchain tech in validating the diploma data, that is only one app that they can explore but there are a lot more if you are talking about transparency of data. So yes, blockchain tech will help universities curb fake data and info.

Actually this question is too general. Basically, blockchain technology is very flexible and can be applied in any ecosystem with a database. For the world of education, we see real examples from India that implemented a blockchain to validate diploma data, specifically to avoid diploma falsification among job seekers. This simplifies and speeds up work with a higher level of accuracy. I think information like this will be easier to obtain by using Google 

STEM universities are researching and coping with blockchain technology for a long time ago, that is natural and it's part of their business.
Blockchain could be implemented very widely in different industries and areas and they are trying to find out how and what is the best use of it so they also can make proposals and gudelines for industries and economies.
So, yes, I can agree that blockchain is definetely a future and science will help with that but no one doesn't have exclusive right.on blockchain and that includes crypto industry.

Relating the use of blockchain to political connections, this is what we all thought to have a clean elections. We are predicting that this is going to contribute and give the confidence that elections will have no cheating involved. But, once the powerful authorities learned that blockchain is going to be like this, do you think that they will still be optimistic of adopting the blockchain technology? There might be some of them that wants it and have no intentions to include tricking to the votes but there's always the other side and opposition of those type of politicians.

I think it is really great if universities started a course about blockchain technology, because students should know about it. The usages of blockchain technology is increasing day by day. Besides cryptocurrency it is widely used to perform smart contracts without human intervention, to control blockchain domain names with a private key, to maintain supply chain logistics, to compile data for sustainable use and many more. I have heard about e-voting system. In 2000, the Arizona Democratic Party adopted a presidential primary using e-voting. Their voting was conducted according to an electronic voting system which was conducted using a blockchain system. Nowadays I have seen interest in blockchain technology among many students, I believe that one day blockchain technology will reign in every sector of the world.

There are a lot of benefits of using blockchain technology in state universities. First, we need to engage with the use of the blockchain we all know that these blocks which are contain a lot of information and data which is encrypted and with a piece of high-security information is more effective than the use of the file cabinet system or the old way of storing of the information also we are looking forward to the schools and universities to adopt this kind of changes because it is safer. Also today there are a lot of schools having and accepting a seminar about the use of blockchain and cryptocurrency quite curious right? By that now most of the student on our university is now taking the use the blockchain and the cryptocurrency as a payment which is more convenient to us but the university is still making some movement how to use and adopt this kind of environment because it is not quite popular to the other people the use of the blockchain because they are still on the way of traditional payment which is more hassle and also today we have the pandemic crisis and it is quite hard and not safe to go outside the upcoming enrollment not quite easy they need to go outside and get the requirements just to enroll by the help of the blockchain and online class it is easier to transfer and store that secured information.

Top 10 Blockchain Technology University in U.S.

-Stanford
-University of California, Berkeley
-New York University
-Massachusetts Institute of Technology
-Cornell University
-Georgetown University
-Harvard University
-Duke University
-Carnegie Mellon University
-University of Pennsylvania

I am beginning to see more and more educational programs either adding stand alone courses on decentralized computing systems and the power of distributed general ledgers or including a section on cryptocurrencies to existing course curriculum.

I have the same opinion, idk maybe I'm a dreamer but for me, the blockchain will be the rule in the future to keep a clean and transparent record of all types, even to the point of political votes, where you can see in real-time how the votes are adding to x or y, still being private of course but in a way that everybody knows that is not cheating.

In my opinion blockchain technology can be used anywhere, including universities and colleagues. Most finance at university not open,
so often a lot of financial abuse. With blockchain technology, financial circulation becomes more transparent. University finance for
scholarships, equipment purchases and construction of university buildings is more on target and avoid from corruption by university
managers.

I have been thinking for a while of how to make a blockchain that can be used in my Univ, my first idea was making a coin internal for the campus, since there (my country/university) has really serious financial problems and cash is almost nonexistent, the idea was to exchange fiat for the coin, be able to use it with the Univ infrastructure and you could cash it out back to fiat anytime too (it's not that simple but a fast way to explain the idea), but speaking with a few professors, they gave me the idea of making it about the student's database and their record.

Actually at the University of Malta we have specialised Masters programmes on Blockchain:

If we are talking about blockchain being the university's supply chain, that would be great. Imagine if there are digital certificates that are being recorded on the blockchain instead of paper ones. It would be cool for me.

There are some schools in which students are having QR codes in their IDs. They just scan it to confirm their attendance. However, they are not using blockchain yet. It would be useful when they are using blockchain-based QR codes that are tamper-proof and records cannot lie about the student's attendance. Same thing goes to paying tuition fees, etc.

Some universities in Malta, Philippines, etc., have already included blockchain elective courses in their curriculum, and the mass adoption is slowly rising.

     I think that blockchain technology should be studied in universities. It's the right educational study rank because this technology is quite difficult. Although there are many other more complete and efficient databases than the blockchain, I think carefully studied, the blockchain can be developed by these future graduates and can revolutionize the world.

Hmm Blockchain proves us the secure and ease of storing data and accessing it. Universities can be at an advantage with Blockchain maybe through record keeping of students, employees, employer, and other affiliates' personal data and information. It could also help with the school's program especially those in partnership with a big sponsor or other large universities. It could also protect the universities' transaction and students can keep track of where their money goes to. It can be examined though. But for me, Blockchain is not a top priority when it comes to universities.

Blockchain offers a decentralized solution as its very faster and more secure and it offers a greater transparency and security to the university. If an accountant student can add Blockchain experience in resume.
Some of the universities are
CORNELL UNIVERSITY, DUKE UNIVERSITY, MIT UNIVERSITY, AND PRINCETON UNIVERSITY etc., students get more job opportunities once they finish their graduation.

Today some of the universities having trouble into the world of storing the information of the history and transactions of their student still then ate using the traditional way which is the cabinet file system and it takes a lot of years they store that information because all of the details and record of the students are important. Also, some of the universities accept seminars about the cryptocurrency and blockchain and I'm one of the participants of this event it gives a lot of benefits but the problem is the school takes a lot of time and decisions about this kind of process because they need to manage all of the information of the students also they have the use of database management system so they will not adopt the use of the blockchain still there is a chance they will use the cloud save and the blockchain because it is more helpful and efficient also in terms of backup files and security of it is more favorable to the users.
