1st Asia Symposium Roundtable

When: September 2021

Where: TBD

Participants: By invitation

Purpose:  To encourage blockchain & crypto scholarship in Asia related to policy, governance, law, regulation, etc. that can be shared with global audiences, in the hopes of bridging East-West silos within the space. Optional symposium papers produced following this event will be published in a future issue of the Stanford Journal of Blockchain Law & Policy, in print and online.

Students from the Stanford Japan Center of Doshisha University have been invited as observers. We intend to hold the Symposium Roundtable biannually in Kyoto once the public health situation improves.
