More about the Blockchain Workspace in A-Lab

Co-workingspace and incubator A-lab (http://a-lab.nl/about), has started a Blockchain Lab for Public Good (http://a-lab.nl/blockchain-1) in cooperation with trainers and advisors of Blockchain Workspace (http://www.blockchainworkspace.com/).
Apart from physical space (https://www.a-lab.nl/available-now), they also bring people together around areas where blockchain tech might seem promising. Their inaugural meetup around Intellectual Property (http://a-lab.nl/events/blockchain-meetup-innovation-digital-rights-management-intellectual-property-included) is exactly one week later (https://www.meetup.com/Permissionless-Society/events/238409221/)!

We welcome new people to the meetup, we do ask however that you do some effort beforehand to familiarise yourself with Ethereum. These videos are a good start:
