University of Buenos Aires and Archisinal Partner to Renovate UBA Legal Premises Using Polkadot
London, UK, July 2, 2024, Chainwire
Web3 data platform Archisinal has announced a collaboration with the Innovation and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (UBA IALAB) of the University of Buenos Aires. The two entities have joined forces to develop a Polkadot-based project that will reorganize the UBA’s legal facilities.
Archisinal will work with UBA’s Web3, Blockchain & AI Lab to apply blockchain technology to design and urban planning. Students, architects and members of the university community who wish to be part of the project are invited to participate in a competition to transform the faculty’s courtroom into a smart classroom.
Through its blockchain platform, Archisinal will leverage Polkadot’s blockchain framework and oversee the competition. It will determine the steps needed to execute the work and lead the project using crowdfunding delivered via the blockchain.
The project will serve as a pilot for Archisinal to validate the value of its project, allowing it to prove its MVP in an academic and collaborative environment. The initiative provides an exemplary use case for the application of blockchain in the academic sector. It will stimulate and promote community support in Buenos Aires while contributing to the maintenance and renovation of public infrastructure.
The University of Buenos Aires has already begun exploring the benefits of applied blockchain technology through its Web3, Blockchain & AI Lab. Archisinal, which is deeply embedded in the ecosystem, will build on this foundation and identify new applications for blockchain technology at UBA.
In January 2023, UBA IALAB, in collaboration with adLIB! and its director Marina Marchesotti, established a partnership with Polkadot Blockchain Academy. This academic proposal, created by Dr. Gavin Wood, held its second edition at the UBA Faculty of Law. The partnership with Polkadot Blockchain Academy has brought many benefits to the academic and Polkadot communities thanks to their continuous and close collaboration.
Archisinal’s collaboration with UBA will provide the impetus for a number of future academic initiatives underway. Archisinal, a recent winner of a Web3 Foundation Decentralized Futures scholarship program, has won three hackathons in 2024.
The partnership between UBA IALAB and Archisinal will serve as a case study for the implementation of blockchain, helping academic research and training future leaders in the sector. In doing so, it will provide added value to law students by creating a technological and innovative space in one of Argentina’s leading educational institutions.
