In October/November 2022, Refinitiv will host its fourth inter university hackathon.
Objective: Aid students to apply their academic knowledge within both a commercial and technically secure environment, enabling students to put themselves in the shoes of the professional working in financial and commercial fields to add value to existing Refinitiv Workspace solutions. The above describes technical aspects of our Hackathon, but - as aforementioned - this Hackathon is open to many students, including non-computer-science studying ones.
Modalities: Groups of 3 to 4, supported by Refinitiv professionals, will construct a written workflow to present to a jury of financial professionals (including IB, Management and FinTech). The Chair of Financial Management and Capital Markets is offering to supervise multiple teams.
Winners will be awarded with an e-Certificate and Refinitiv merchandise (subject to availability). The former will help anyone in getting an LSEG Internship interview, if they so wish. Winners producing work of sufficient quality may also be chosen to be published on Refinitiv Developer Portal’s Article Catalogue.
