Agenda for October Field Building Summit
The first Cryptoeconomic Systems event is in a few weeks: Oct 5-6 at MIT. The event has a dual focus on current research in computer science, law, economics and associated fields, as well as discussion of broader questions regarding academia-industry collaboration, trans-disciplinary challenges, fundraising, transparency, peer review and the role that scholarly publishing plays in academic culture. Intended to help shape the new journal’s focus and approach, this will be an intimate and focused participatory gathering of scholars, practitioners and institutional representatives. The agenda is below. Thanks to our sponsors for helping us put together this event.
