A recent Cointelegraph article covers a new three-year collaboration by the Cardano Foundation (based in Zug, Switzerland) with the Blockchain Center of the University of Zurich (UZH BCC) to further research initiatives and explore blockchain education development.
Through the partnership, the foundation will work with the Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (BDLT) Group at the University of Zurich to explore research topics like the efficacy of consensus protocols and analyze attack vectors specific to Ouroboros, among many others.
We are pleased to see this new initiative by the Foundation, although there remains a significant space for them to occupy in the Cardano ecosystem to advance understanding, and promote stronger regulatory, academic and industry links.
