A team of academic blockchain scholars from across North America and Europe is excited to announce the formation of a multinational research organization, Insolar Research, which is ready to finally bring the many promises of blockchain science to the world's business applications. real.
Insolar Research is an important subsidiary of Insolar and is composed of 10 leading blockchain scholars from high-level institutions including York University, Princeton University and ETH Zurich. He is currently conducting an ambitious series of pilot research and proof-of-concept projects that span multiple research areas, industries and collaborations with partners, united under the goal of making the business community known and adopting blockchain technology.
Among the ranks of Insolar Research is Prof. Henry Kim, co-director of the York University blockchain lab in Toronto and one of the leading academic scholars in North America, and Professor Alexandru Butean, professor in Computer Science and architect of the Blockchain Society in Estonia. Eight other members complete the growing ranks of the team, each contributing to a mix of blockchain experience with other industrial research specializations, such as cryptography, security, IoT and AI / ML.
"Insular research is pushing the boundaries of blockchain science," says prof. Henry Kim. "Beyond that, it is bringing science to entrepreneurial use in the real world, showing companies the tangible benefits of blockchain and resolving the urgent obstacles they face in adopting it."
In line with Insolar's open source values, Insolar Research will publish and freely share its thinking leadership and research results with the world.
"Insular research is a vital component of the Insular ecosystem," says Insolar CEO Andrey Zhulin, "leading to technological leadership and academic rigor our technology platform, and advancing the frontiers of knowledge for the larger community. , creating a rising tide that will lift all the boats ".
The current series of Insolar Research projects has the team working with the best industry leaders and government officials on a wide range of critical issues. The list includes:
- Investigate how a modern society it would work if blockchain technology was applied at all levels. This project follows EU directives for 2020 and creates the architecture, requirements and tools necessary for public institutions and businesses to integrate their services to achieve equity in an unfair world.
- Companies remain hesitant in their blockchain adoption. SimuChain simulates blockchain technology as it can impact on business processes of a business organization, decreasing uncertainty and demonstrating tangible benefits.
- 2 million euro project that will create the factory of the future using IoT products and services to optimize the interaction between human beings, computers and their environment. This project is funded by the Romanian government and its specifications were drafted following discussions with leading industry leaders across Europe.
- Explain how it can improve blockchain technology origin of the supply chain and food security. This project uses intelligent contracts to trace a provenance and impose traceability constraints.
- Proposing a blockchain-enabled electric micronete which encourages the use of local and renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Investigate how blockchain technology affects United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Commerce (UN / CEFACT) and how the organization can provide standardized technical specifications for the origin and authenticity of the goods.
- Examining how the adoption of blockchain technology can increase the global competitiveness of producers and food exporters in Canada, especially in Ontario.
- To investigate how closely coupled blockchains for different business operations (eg financing and operations) can increase productivity, improve the allocation of resources and minimize the risks and costs of information asymmetry (ie, if a party has access to better or more information than the other party).
