Following the tremendous success of our 2015 University Challenge, we are delighted to announce that we are hosting another event this year! This prestigious event gives you the opportunity to compete against the best universities across the UK and Ireland. Taking place between 20-21 October 2016 at our EMEAR HQ, we will invite five students from each of the top 15 universities throughout the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. To register please visit our website.
From each university we will be seeking a team of five students to work on solutions related to emerging technologies within our increasingly digitised world. The problem statements will be derived from enterprise use-cases developed from daily challenges encountered by our customers and partners. Each task will give the teams an opportunity to develop a fresh and innovative approach to creating solutions in software.
This event will encourage and enable the students to work in a collaborative environment, that will give the teams real world experience in one of the world’s leading technology companies.
The winning university will receive prizes and trophies.
