Overview: 

The TRON Climate Initiative (TCI) is looking for ambitious, creative, and passionate college and university students to join our research paper competition. In this competition, student groups will be researching and writing research papers that explore the environmental impact of blockchain technologies. We are looking for papers that explore not only the current state of blockchain and its impact on the environment but also detail potential solutions and strategies that can be implemented to create a more positive environmental impact.

Winning teams will have the opportunity to have their research paper published on the TCI website and will receive funding for their organization if they are selected as winners. We look forward to seeing the creative and innovative solutions that our student teams come up with!
