About the Workshop
In an era marked by rapid changes and unpredictable challenges, the concept of stability stands as a cornerstone across diverse disciplines — ranging from natural sciences and engineering to social sciences. The Stability Workshop aims to serve as a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore, discuss, and innovate on the multifaceted and broadly construed aspects of stability.
In this first edition, the focus is on blockchain technologies, smart contracts and their applications, such as cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance. These technologies and applications emerged as a reaction to the Global Financial Crisis and offered hope of a more stable foundation for the world economy. And, yet, to fully realize their potential and achieve widespread adoption, much work remains to be done. We seek to break silos across competing blockchains and promote a fruitful flow of information to speed up the research and development of these emerging technologies and applications.
