This conference will present the thoughts and opportunities to implement systems for recognition and development of skills in a Fab City context. Blockchain technology offers an opportunity to revolutionize the world of transactions (finance, commerce, citizen participation, etc.), the world of records (notary, government, citizenship, etc.) and the world of smart contracts with the automation, decentralization and autonomy of algorithms and objects (Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, massive data (Big Data), etc.).

The near future of education could be marked by the use of digital identity generated by blockchain technology to create lifelong portfolios, guaranteeing the validity of information, enhancing badges in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFT) and facilitating the visibility and automation of links between individuals, skills and organizations in the cities of the future.
