The Blockchain Research Accelerator (BRA) uniquely positions itself at the interface between academic research, industry and the public sector to advance the global discourse in the transformative fields of blockchain applications, regulation, and adoption. This non-profit initiative is founded and supported with cash and brain by untitled inc (www.untitled-inc.com) - a network of distributed economy experts. BRA offers a platform for Bachelor, Master, and PhD students to complement their academic thesis supervision with an expert team at the forefront of blockchain applications and research. We support students on a one-on-one basis, through our dedicated blockchain workshop in Berlin as well as through our expert network during their dissertation preparation. Following the thesis submission, we work together with the students to prepare and release publications on their topics and get the work in front of industry leaders in the blockchain space. We aim to make the academic research of BSc, MSc and PhD students more relevant to real-world applications and thereby accelerate the adoption of innovative blockchain applications globally.
