KU Blockchain Institute

The KU Blockchain Institute (KUBI) is a student-led initiative that focuses on uniting students, faculty, and industry partners through the advancement of emerging blockchain technology. We aim to push our university forward and make the University of Kansas the tech-hub of the Midwest through the research, education, and development of blockchain technology. We are hosted by the Institute for Information Sciences (I2S) and collaborate with various parts of the University of Kansas, including the School of Business, School of Engineering, and the Bioscience and Technology Business Center. Through these collaborative efforts, we are able to create an interdisciplinary tie-in between a wide range of students and faculty and we look to expand to additional areas in the educational and commercial community. We see great value in engaging partners through research projects, educational conferences and events, and the publication of original content. We constantly look for innovative ways to improve processes, analyze complex problems through a technological lens, and contribute to our community.
