不论你从事任何课程的学习与研究，如果你是一个有心人，在英国学习的一个巨大优势就是，这里有很多具有包容性的学术与行业交流环境与信息共享平台可以供我们利用，在课余增强自己的国际视野、研究水平与学术或行业见闻，对于自己的学习研究甚至以后的就业有着巨大的的帮助。
No matter you are engaged in any course of study and research, if you are a very sharp-minded person, one of the great advantages of studying in the UK is that there are many inclusive academic and industry exchange environments and information sharing platforms for us to use, to strengthen our international vision, research level and academic or industry knowledge are of great help to our own study and research and even future employment.
首先，学校内、校际间、学术领域内、学术与产业领域内都有一系列频繁的会议、研讨会甚至是很多非正式的“头脑风暴”，在这里你可以自主的选择感兴趣的领域，学习业内领先的知识、技术、商业模式与领先的场景应用，与他人交换意见与观点，发现潜在的合作伙伴共同进行学术探索与技术开发。我的感受是，尤其是在技术应用日新月异的现代社会，原先分隔的很多领域不断深度融合与交互，这就对与我们的知识与认知结构提出了新的挑战。举个例子，我本人从事的是旅游规划与可持续开发，这本身就是一个发散性复合性很强的学科，伴随着新技术的发展与应用，比如人工智能、大数据、云计算、区块链等，就需要我们研究者拥有更发散的思维与宽广的知识体系去研究这些新技术的应用以及对人类社会与生活的影响。
First of all, there are a series of frequent conferences, seminars and even many informal “brainstorms” within the university, or between universities, across academic and industrial fields, where you can choose your fields of interest independently. From this big platform you can learn the industry’s leading knowledge, technology, business model and leading scenario applications, exchange agendas and ideas with others, and discover potential partners for academic exploration and technology development together. My feeling is that, especially in the modern society with ever-changing technology applications, many previously separated fields continue to be deeply integrated and interacted. This poses new challenges to our knowledge and cognitive structure. For example, I’m now engaging in tourism planning and sustainable development, which itself is a highly divergent and complex subject, accompanied by the development and application of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and block Chains, etc., require our researchers to have more divergent thinking and a broader knowledge system to study the application of these new technologies and their impacts on human society and life.
在去年第一学期结束时，在学长与研究室里其他同事的推荐下，我开始把兴趣拓展到一些我们萨里大学之外的学术与行业交流活动。很多活动都是免费参加的，由各大学校、研究机构、行业协会、咨询、智库，甚至是学校的学生会与学生社团等参与举办，在很多普通的社交媒体比如Facebook上就能发现活动链接，萨里大学也会定期的推送相关活动信息。
At the end of the first semester last year, under the recommendation of the senior and other colleagues in the research office, I began to expand my interest to some academic and industry exchange activities outside of our University of Surrey. Many activities are free to participate in, organized by universities, research institutions, industry associations, consulting, think tanks, and even the school’s student union and student associations. You can find activity links on many common social media such as Facebook. In addition to this, the University of Surrey will also regularly share relevant event information for us.
这一期的博客，我就带大家来看看我在今年二月份参加的在伦敦政治经济学院LSE举办，学校区块链协会主办的区块链应用与可持续发展的行业趋势分享会。
In this blog, I will take you to take a look at the blockchain application and sustainable development industry trend sharing meeting hosted by the School Blockchain Association hosted by the LSE of the London School of Economics and Political Science that I participated in in February this year.
伦敦政治经济学院LSE是世界知名的高等学府，也是英国G5名校之一，在社会科学、经济金融、国际政治、法律等学科领域享有很高的地位，常年有着大量高质量的学术产出，对世界各领域贡献了大量顶尖人才。LSE坐落于伦敦城的中心，距离特拉法加广场和泰晤士河很近，地理位置极度优越，当然在这里学习，生活与交通成本当然也是十分的高昂。和别的大学校区不一同，LSE大学的小区面积很小，它的教学楼分散分布于市中心的商业区，人流穿梭，十分繁忙。
The London School of Economics and Political Science LSE is a world-renowned institution of higher learning and one of the G5 prestigious universities in the UK. It enjoys a high status in the fields of social sciences, economics and finance, international politics, and law. It has a large number of high-quality academic output throughout the year. A large number of top talents have been contributed in various fields around the world. LSE is located in the center of the City of London, very close to Trafalgar Square and the River Thames. The geographical position is extremely advantageous. Of course, studying here, living and transportation costs are of course very high. Unlike other university campuses, LSE University has quite a small area, and its teaching buildings are scattered in the business district of the city center, with a very bustling atmosphere.
讲座的嘉宾来自英国区块链技术应用学会，给我们分享了一些区块链技术原理，目前的一些应用场景尝试与探索，以及对于未来人类社会诸如金融、政治与生产生活活动的影响。其中对于很多前瞻性的尝试，比如Dapps, DeFi, Daico等项目，以及他们的技术支撑结构DAO，ARAGON，还有IOTA经济系统，包括一些奖励机制如Deposy体系等，嘉宾进行了比较深入与细致的介绍。
The guest of the seminar came from the British Block-chain Technology Application Society. They shared some block-chain technology principles, some current application scenarios and new explorations, and the impact on future human society such as finance, politics, production and life activities. Among them, for many forward-looking attempts, such as Dapps, DeFi, Daico and other projects, as well as their technical support structures DAO, ARAGON, and the IOTA economic system, including some reward mechanisms such as the Deposy system, the guests conducted more in-depth and detailed Introduction.
