Ripple Labs has funded over 45 university partnerships and more than 1,000 research projects through its University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI) since 2018. The UBRI was launched as part of the broader Ripple Impact program in June 2018 to support and accelerate academic research, technical development, and innovation in blockchain, cryptography, fintech, and the digital asset space. The initiative provides financial and technical resources to universities and research institutions worldwide to help them develop curricula, conduct research, and collaborate with industry experts on blockchain technology and its applications. Ripple committed over $50 million to the initiative upon launch. The UBRI has funded partnerships with over 45 universities across 20 countries and introduced or expanded up to 345 courses with more than 1,050 blockchain research projects funded so far.
