All teams have now finished solving this years' 24h case! This years' case is provided by Coca-Cola European Partners. When designing the case Coca-Cola European Partners wanted to do good for the city of Rotterdam. Hence why they chose to invite Voor Goed and JINC to team-up for this years’ case competition. Together, they want to be a force for positive change, by bridging the gap of inequality in Rotterdam. To solve the case, the teams need to take important social aspects of life in a multicultural city into account. We hope all the teams enjoyed the solving of this case!
Yesterday we had our second social event of the week. We had lots of fun with the participating teams during a pub quiz! During the pub quiz we tested participants’ knowledge about the countries where the particitpating universaties are located.
Even though the RSM STAR Case Competition is a non fysical competition, we are happy to provide some sort of social interaction! We consider it very important for the participating teams to gain knowledge about one another.
We would like to congratulate Ethaniel from HKUST Bants with the win!🥳 A beautiful RSM sweater will come your way!
Back to business! The solving of the 24h case is now underway. We would like to wish all the teams the best of luck.🍀
