What it is

Hackathons, challenges, and meetups in quantitative finance, AI, and trading — co-hosted by the Amsterdam Investment Club and the Amsterdam Quant Society. Built for students, juniors, and developers who want to put their skills against real problems and real people.

01

Hackathons

Short-form sprints where teams build, ship, and present a working prototype in hours. Industry partners set the brief and judge the outcomes.

02

Challenges

Standing problems in research, strategy design, or live trading — open to individual submissions, with feedback from practitioners.

03

Meetups

Curated evenings with quant researchers, traders, and founders — small-format, focused on craft and conversation.
