The “BlockChain and SmartContracts” program was developed through a partnership between CATÓLICA-LISBON and TÉCNICO+, with the goal to promote a deep, complete, and most of all applied perspective of these subjects. This 21 hour long program is divided into two parts, one for each school’s expertise.
