Q. What differentiate you from the rest of the ICO projects out there?
A. Hristian Daskalov, Project Lead: In contrast to the vast sea of wannabe-disruptor ICO campaigns, OS.UNIVERSITY project is unique in the sense of having already been recognized by industry-leaders such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Ernst & Young, AIESEC, The European Comission. We are named as one of the top ten social innovation ideas worldwide, as part of “Living Progress Challenge 2016”, addressing the global development goals of the United Nations in the field of education and professional development. Our platform will enable billions to find, organize and validate their learning accomplishments beyond institutional and national borders.
Q. We see that the blockchain is being applied in numerous different areas and use-cases. What problem are you solving?
A. Jordan Jambazov, Technology Lead: My opinion about Open Source University is that it is one of the few blockchain projects that actually make sense — bringing people certifciation to the blockchain and connecting learners & businesses though smart contracts has the potential to revolutionize the learning and development markets.
Q. Which are your users and customers?
A. Dobromir Kovachev, Senior Blockchain Developer: Open Source University project is a real game changer, because it’s the first solution, which will connect academies, businesses and students in such a transparent and way. On one side, businesses will have instant access to infinite pool of new talents, targeted by specific skill requirements and with proven track records, verified by authorized academic organizations. On the other hand, learners will be more motivated, knowing that during their education they can be reached by businesses, which are offering them unique professional opportunities and personal development. In a few words our project is extremely scalable and has huge goals to pursue — it will take its time to achieve its mission, but it has already been recognized by numerous businesses and academies, which are waiting to integrate the platform in 2018.
