In spring 2017, the Research Institute non-profit initiative was founded by a group of researchers and developers with the aim of facilitating international blockchain research and development. Founders were deeply involved in research activities and at the same time had a practical approach with new tech product launches, including blockchain platforms and protocols.
For several years the Research Institute was able to establish a known brand, recognised within the international research community. A special unit, Magnetic Core in R&D Lab Amsterdam, took the initiative and adopted the general approach of the Research Institute in order to commercialise applied research and widen the research agenda, focusing not only on DLT but also other advanced technologies.
Our goals are very ambitious, and we believe that real success in solving them can only be achieved by creating an extensive partner network. The creation of numerous in-house specialised departments and laboratories will result in a scattering of resources and unnecessarily complex procedures governing the interaction. Our goal is a more flexible and adaptive approach when researchers from other research centres, public or private, actively participate in projects. The forms of such collaboration can be very different: grant programs, open competition tasks, consortia in which we can act as a participant or coordinator, internship and fellowship programs.
