Shibuya Web3 University Teams Up with Turing Japan

Shibuya Web3 University, based in Tokyo, is embarking on an innovative project for its upcoming 28th Web3 study session scheduled for May 2025. The university has announced a partnership with Turing Japan, a trusted advisor and tech company in the blockchain realm. This collaboration will implement the Turing Certs solution to create event attending tickets known as the "Shibuya Web3 Innovator Pass" as blockchain-backed digital certificates, marking the beginning of a Proof of Concept (PoC).

Meeting the Need for Learning as an Asset

The monthly study events have registered over 1,500 participants via Peatix. Feedback has indicated a growing desire among attendees to have tangible evidence of their learning and network-building experiences. The introduction of immutable digital certifications through blockchain technology is seen as a significant advancement in fulfilling this need and showcasing educational accomplishments.

Enhancing Community Trust and Safety

Given that these events are freely available to the public, ensuring a seamless match between registrant information and actual attendees is paramount for a secure learning environment. The implementation of blockchain certificates enables instant verification via QR codes at check-in, preventing ticket counterfeiting and unauthorized participation, thereby enhancing the quality of education offered.

Real-World Testing of Web3 Implementation

Shibuya Web3 University remains committed to demonstrating the true value of advanced technology through practical applications. The latest PoC invites participants to become active stakeholders in innovation by testing the ticket technology's future capabilities using blockchain certificates.

PoC Overview and Schedule

The PoC will unfold in several phases:

• - Phase 1:

- Target Group: Current members of the Create course
- Objective: Testing the system and operational workflows
- Start Date: May 21, 2025 (28th event)

• - Phase 2:

- Target Group: Core fans (opt-in)

Why Collaborate with Turing Certs?

The choice to partner with Turing Japan stems from their wealth of experience in deploying trusted solutions across various sectors, including recognition from WHO, governments, and educational institutions worldwide. Their flexible template design allows for customization of certificates based on issuers' needs, while the QR code feature facilitates immediate verification regarding the issuer, issuance date, and validity.

Moreover, the certificates support recipients in managing their own life logs, allowing them to set visibility parameters for career references.
