Universities, including MIT, Harvard, and Stanford, are leveraging Filecoin's decentralized network to safeguard and preserve their most essential data.

Some examples of how top academic institutions use the Filecoin Network.

- MIT's Open Learning programs, are leveraging Filecoin's decentralized storage to house and preserve OpenCourseWare materials. This approach ensures a guarantee - via cryptographic proof - of the data's unchanged availability over time, paving the way for a democratized education system.

- The University of Utah, harnesses decentralized storage to democratize access to vast data sets, demonstrating the transformative power of decentralization in enhancing research collaborations.
