Historically, universities have been considered as centers for the transmission and preservation of knowledge. Initially, academic nuclei emerged as very restricted areas, focused on their own activity and that could afford to turn their backs on the demands of society and business.<\/span><\/p>

Today, that paradigm has shifted dramatically. Universities have evolved from being mere transmitters of knowledge and skills, to becoming bridges that connect companies with their future employees; in some cases, it works directly as a “partner” provider of R+D+i and talent.<\/span><\/p>

With the need to link university and business, students and job opportunities, the Hackathon 2022 initiative emerged from the hand of <\/span>Next Job<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Youz Talent<\/span><\/a>. On this occasion, and together with the strategic participation of CIS University, the students were able to get in touch with large firms such as <\/span>Airbus<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>EY<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>HAVI<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Siemens<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Logista<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Merkle<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Naturgy<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>X-Elio<\/span><\/a> y <\/span>Prime Student<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

What is a Hackathon? Its curious name refers to the union of the term \u201cHack\u201d, (\u201cachievement\u201d or \u201cunlock a problem\u201d in English), with the resistance race known as \u201cMarathon\u201d. That is to say, it is a sequence of tests carried out simultaneously by different groups, which seeks, through teamwork, to respond to a challenge or real case of a company. As in any race or test, as the different teams solve their challenges, they will obtain different scores.<\/span><\/p>
