Cardano x UZH Summer School Meetup: From Student to Project Builder

​About Event

​The UZH Blockchain Center and the Cardano Foundation are delighted to welcome you back for another Cardano x UZH Meetup. Spend an evening in Zürich tracing your potential journey from the lecture hall to launching a real project – guided by the people who've walked that path on the Cardano blockchain.

​📅 Date: 21 July 2026
🕕 Time: 17:30 CEST
📍 Location:  University of Zurich, KOL-G-201, Main Building, Rämistrasse 71, 8006, Zurich

​The Cardano x UZH Meetup returns to Zürich, as part of the seventh annual UZH Blockchain Summer School. This year's edition follows a single thread: how a student idea becomes a working project, a venture, and a career. Across four short talks you'll hear from founders, incubators, investors, and ecosystem leaders who turn academic concepts into real platforms – and you'll pick up the practical, legal, and local context to do the same. Join us to discover the map to take your blockchain project from first idea to market entry.

Whether you’re new to Cardano or deep into Web3, this meetup is for you!
