DeSci Day

What happens when scientific research, AI, decentralized infrastructure, and funding meet in the same room?DeSci Day, hosted by Moonstruck as part of Belgrade Blockchain Week, brings together researchers, deep tech founders, builders, investors, and ecosystem leaders for a morning of practical conversations around the future of science and technology.From EU-funded deep tech projects and new funding opportunities to verifiable AI, decentralized infrastructure, and machine memory, the program explores one central question:How can emerging technologies make scientific collaboration more open, verifiable, and scalable?Expect short, focused sessions, live demonstrations, open discussions, and plenty of room to connect with people working across research, AI, Web3, and deep tech.Each session includes 30 minutes of presentation, 15 minutes of Q&A, and 15 minutes for discussion, networking, and coffee.Agenda09:30 · Morning NetworkingCoffee at Grčka KraljicaCoffee, introductions, and an informal start to the day, followed by a short welcome from Moonstruck: Why DeSci Matters Now.10:30 · From Research to ImpactProf. Zorica Bogdanović · Faculty of Organizational Sciences (FON)EU deep tech projects, success stories, and the evolving connection between academia, technology, and industry.11:30 · Introducing OpenMatter NetworkChris Biele · OpenMatter NetworkFrom masked compute and zero-knowledge proofs to post-quantum infrastructure - including a live demo and fireside discussion on what verifiable computation could mean for science.12:30 · A2F - Access to FundingIlija Stojanović · A2FA practical look at EIC, cascade funding, open calls, and where European deep tech financing priorities are heading.13:30 · Proof of LearningGregor Žavcer · Co-Founder, Datafund & Swarm FoundationModerated by Iaroslav Belkin · Belkin MarketingA closing fireside chat on AI agents, engrams, provenance, and verifiable machine memory - and why machines may need cryptographic proof of knowledge.Who Should Join?Researchers, academics, deep tech and Web3 founders, AI and blockchain builders, investors, EU project teams, and anyone interested in the future of decentralized science.Together WithDeSci Day is hosted by Moonstruck as part of the Convergence Forum Series and Belgrade Blockchain Week 2026, together with:Faculty of Organizational Sciences (FON) · OpenMatter Network · Belkin Marketing · Datafund / Swarm Foundation.📍 Moonstruck Office, Rajićeva 16, Belgrade☕ Coffee and refreshments provided throughout the event.Seats are limited.
