HPCC Systems collaborates with a number of academic institutions in the USA, Brazil, Europe and India. Our intern program, welcomes students on to the HPCC Systems platform team during the summer recess to work on HPCC Systems related projects. Our Academic Program supports research projects requiring data analytics which students also contribute to and as a result, are eligible to enter this contest. In fact, any student working on an HPCC Systems related project is welcome to enter this contest, regardless of whether they are an intern or academic partner contributor.

We held our first technical presentation competition at our Community Day Summit in 2016. The aim of this contest is to give students working on HPCC Systems related projects, an opportunity to showcase their achievements to a wide audience of HPCC Systems open source community members and LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group employees.

Our 2020 Poster Contest was held virtually this year, so it looked a little difference to our judges and students, but the outcome was just the same as always. We announced the winners of our Best Poster Categories and Community Choice Award during our 2020 HPCC Systems Community Day Summit. Our Community Choice Award was new in 2020 and was presented to the student whose poster received the most votes from all our Community Day attendees.
