Project
Luca Neuperti’s focus at ZEVEDI is on the digital euro. His goal is not only to explain how it works technically, but also to examine the various social conceptions of a Digital Euro. Where do the conspiracy theories around it come from? How can different understandings of the Digital Euro be categorized?
To make these questions accessible to a broader public, Luca plans to give lectures in the style of a science slam. He aims to use entertaining but scientifically sound communication to introduce people to the topic and create a broader understanding of the digital euro.
