Neo and University of Zurich, the largest university in Switzerland, established a long-term partnership to promote blockchain technology education, research, and usage throughout Europe. By bringing together Neo’s community-driven, open source culture with the University of Zurich’s academic and cultural influence, both parties aim to accelerate blockchain adoption and innovation in Europe. Moving forward, Neo will continue cultivating more community talents and ecosystem initiatives to achieve its vision of next-gen Internet. 

Moving forward, both parties will launch a series of collaborative activities, including education seminars, data analytics, and blockchain-related scholarships. For the first collaborative project, Neo will join UZH Blockchain Center’s "Deep Dive into Blockchain" course while providing scholarships for two students.
