CoinDesk recently published: After rigorous research, we’ve published the Top Universities for Blockchain by CoinDesk, ranking 220 schools internationally.
In response Ripple clarified: It’s amazing to see that 7 of the top 10 universities on CoinDesk’s list are UBRI partners. We’re excited to help further blockchain education, research and innovation around the world, and believe in the lasting impact it will have in creating real-world solutions for years.
CoinDesk: How did we do it? CoinDesk’s rankings cover college courses, research output, campus blockchain offerings (like student clubs and research centers), employment outcomes, academic reputation and cost.
Community response: Who did this research and what is the methodology? How come you have not included the world’s first MSc in Digital Currency degree since 2014 by UNIC ENG (University Nicosia) including introductory courses to DeFi and Academic Professional Certificates by IFF UNIC (Institute For the Future).
No need to go to university for Blockchain understanding. If MIT is on the list. I’d remove it since apparently Gary Gensler spent his time there teaching that crypto has no future and students were wasting their time.
You are really doing the right things. We are very hopeful from you as an investor. For clarity, Ripple (XRP) are so excited by the list because of the quality they are able to deliver with the UBRI Partners.
Ripple has collaborated with leading universities from across the world to support and accelerate academic research, technical development and innovation in blockchain, cryptocurrency and digital payments.
They have a long list of Academic partners in this regard. Ripple are proud about UBRI as they support universities on research, new curriculum development and technical projects.
Each participating university shapes its own topics and areas of focus. In addition to financial resources, Ripple provides students and faculty with strategic guidance, technical resources and funding, where appropriate.
Their focus is to inspire students, including people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, to become part of the workforce of the future in blockchain, distributed computing, banking and FinTech.
Ripple is excited 7 of their partner universities are listed by Coinbase. Ripple are continuing to help create a more robust and valuable global blockchain ecosystem for all and to address the growing demand around the world for new technological solutions, use cases and talent.
Ripple’s university partnerships team is working with UBRI’s 29 academic partners to help them identify research, technical projects and other academic activities they will pursue as part of the UBRI program. Ripple is not seeking additional UBRI partners at this time.
