The Research Hackathon at Comillas ICADE, an initiative in collaboration with the Business Club, Management Solutions, and Garrigues, emerged three years ago with the goal of promoting and boosting research activity, one of the main university missions. For three days, during each semester, participants have the opportunity to concentrate, working in teams and minimizing external distractions, which are so common in academic life. The university provides participants with access to IT services, library resources, databases, advice from the vice rectory, and modern collaborative facilities that are adequately equipped.
