SUMMARY:Summer School on Blockchain Technologies: 
 From Cryptographic E-cash to Modern Cryptocurrenci
 es, Corfu, Greece
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160530
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160602
LOCATION:Corfu, Greece
DESCRIPTION:The rise of Bitcoin and other so-calle
 d "cryptocurrencies" has renewed interest in elect
 ronic payment systems and raised many research que
 stions, which range from understanding, formalizin
 g, and analyzing the protocols that support the un
 derlying blockchain technology to designing new cr
 yptocurrencies with better security guarantees. Th
 ere have been a number of relevant papers that hav
 e appeared in recent cryptography and security con
 ferences, but the space of research problems is en
 ormous and -- especially with the introduction of 
 more robust blockchain platforms like Ethereum -- 
 is still growing.  This summer school aims to brin
 g together the communities working on cryptocurren
 cies, cryptographic electronic cash, and distribut
 ed consensus. The target audience is anyone (stude
 nts, researchers, developers, professionals) with 
 an interest in cryptography/security. It is helpfu
 l for participants to have a basic knowledge of cr
 yptography but we will make sure to provide an ove
 rview of all the necessary cryptographic building 
 blocks; similarly, we expect that the school will 
 be able to educate and motivate even those partici
 pants who already work within these research areas
 .  For more information, see http://bitcoinschool.
