The Banco Sabadell Foundation Partnership Programme for the Promotion of Talentat the Universitat Jaume I has held the Research Hackaton UJI, in which 30 students have worked in teams to solve different challenges, an initiative that has promoted their learning and the development of skills related to innovation and collaboration.

Throughout the day, the participants have put themselves in the shoes of different agents (public institution, entrepreneur, multinational, non-profit association, education and research, and the media) to find solutions to challenges related to new technologies and individualism; demographic ageing and the sustainability of the pension system; the use of social networks and mental health; the accessibility of quality medical care to rural communities, or the reduction of food waste in the supply chain.

The students, with the support of three mentors from Banco Sabadell, tackled the challenges from an initial phase of research and contextualisation, through the generation and selection of ideas, to design and prototyping and subsequent communication.

The team that presented the best ideas in all roles and emerged as the winner of the Research Hackathon was the team made up of Kristine Grindland, Lara Ying Pinyana Salvador, Carlos Broch Cubedo, Christopher Morales Fuentes and Katherine Quezada. This group proposed a system of incentives to reduce screen use by generating benefits that are transformed into social and face-to-face experiences.

The session was completed with a lecture on innovation and soft skills by Klaus Ulrich, a lecturer and researcher in the areas of finance, fintech, macroeconomics and entrepreneurship.
