The article discusses how the current microcredit system has its limitations and risks. Classically structured financial institutions set high interest rates and require a large number of documents to obtain a loan. In addition, there is the problem of controlling the use of funds provided as part of a microloan. Blockchain technology can provide a transparent and automated system that will allow students and young researchers to receive microloans on affordable terms. The aim of our work is to study blockchain technology for microcredit in the educational sphere by writing and implementing the program code of the program "Smart contract for microcredit on the Ethereum platform". Methods. The study used data from various sources, including scientific literature, statistical data, and information from websites specializing in blockchain technologies and microcredit. A comparative analysis of these data was conducted to determine the potential advantages and disadvantages of using blockchain in microcredit. Results. The research of our program code has shown that the use of blockchain can have significant advantages for improving the microcredit process in education. In particular, blockchain can provide a more transparent and secure lending process, as well as reduce the risk of fraud. Discussion. Based on the results obtained, the advantages of blockchain technology for microcredit in the education sector are discussed. A number of limitations and issues that should be addressed when considering the application of this technology are discussed. The conclusions show that while there are some challenges associated with using blockchain for microcredit in education, its advantages as an innovative product to address these challenges are clear. Additional research in this subject area may help to unlock the full potential of this approach.

Blockchain technology has numerous benefits, like decentralization, consistency, anonymity, and audibility. There's a large spectrum of blockchain applications, starting from healthcare, e-voting, education, logistic and supply chain management, financial services, risk management, the web of things (IoT), and public and social services. Although a variety of studies concentrate on using blockchain technology in various application aspects, there's no comprehensive survey on blockchain technology from both technological and application perspectives. To fill this gap, we conducted a comprehensive survey on blockchain technology. In particular, this paper presents the use of blockchain in various sectors, reviews blockchain applications, and discusses technical challenges as well as recent advances in tackling the challenges. Moreover, this paper also points out the long-term directions of blockchain technology.

While global sourcing arrangements are highly complex and usually represent large value to the partners, little is known of the use of e-contracts or smart contracts and contract management systems to enhance the contract management process. In this paper we assess the potential of emerging technologies for global sourcing. We review current sourcing contract issues and evaluate three technologies that have been applied to enhance contracting processes. These are (1) semantic standardisation, (2) cognitive technologies and (3) smart contracts and blockchain. We discuss that each of these seem to have their merit for contract management and potentially can contribute to contract management in more complex and dynamic sourcing arrangements. The combination and configuration in which these three technologies will provide value to sourcing should be on the agenda for future research in sourcing contract management.
