Ripple Is Spreading Knowledge In 11 New Universities Through Their UBRI Program

Ripple has been working hard over the past couple of months mostly working on increasing the knowledge on blockchain technology in universities through their University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI) which was first launched in June last year. We are going to find out more in today’s crypto news about this great program which now includes 29 schools.

There are plenty of popular universities on the list such as Cornell, Georgetown University, University of Kansas, University of Michigan, Institute for Fintech Research, the National University of Singapore and much more.

The program is mostly focused on academic research, innovation, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and digital payments. The UBRI program is designed to teach people in engineering and software development to find their career paths perhaps in the blockchain industry.

For example, UBRI has partnered with the University of California-Berkeley which has allowed for the creation of multiple departments and collaboration between students on research projects and blockchain-related activities.

There aren’t many examples of the same type of collaboration but because the blockchain technology has an incredible amount of use cases, the heads of the different school departments were able to see how learning more about this technology would improve the advancement in the career of their students.

Ripple has managed to partner with 29 schools in about 7 months which is a great sign for the future of blockchain into the world of the academy. There might be still some new technological breakthroughs in the future as a result of the blockchain protocol and Ripple seems to have the front row seats to be the first company to benefit from those innovations.
