USI, SUPSI, Franklin University Switzerland and the City of Lugano signed a framework agreement to consolidate collaboration under the "Lugano Plan ?" project and consciously integrate Bitcoin and Blockchain technology through educational and dissemination activities, creating a dedicated permanent roundtable to coordinate and strengthen educational offerings related to this technology. Università della Svizzera italiana (USI), the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Franklin University Switzerland (FUS) and the City of Lugano have been collaborating for years to enhance the debate in the area in which they operate. In particular, the four institutions have made it possible to develop Lugano Living Lab - the urban laboratory that promotes innovative and digital transformation projects in a public, academic and private partnership - and work in agreement on projects in the field of Blockchain technology, as in the case of the Plan - Summer School held in July this year, with the MyLugano project or with the recent development of the 3Achain network, a blockchain platform designed to facilitate and support projects that need this type of technological infrastructure. Therefore, the three universities and the City have signed a framework agreement regarding the "Lugano Plan ?" to boost present and future initiatives while creating a dedicated permanent roundtable to coordinate and strengthen educational offerings related to this technology.
