Qlik Luminary Angelika Klidas has watched the business intelligence Industry evolve from its infancy, to providing the powerful insight and foresight offered today. The fast paced nature of this industry means that students need to be data literate and experienced in modern analytics tools, so that they are best prepared to make a positive impact once they enter the workforce.   In her teaching role at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Angelika uses the Qlik Academic Program to  let her students get hands on with learning the craft of business intelligence. The resources available on the program allows Angelika to integrate Qlik directly into her in-classroom teaching, whilst also allowing students to learn independently through the Online Qlik Continuous Classroom.  "I use Qlik in the classroom because it is the best BI tool I've found. It is state of the art and easy to use." Read the full article from Angelika here.

Women have been a part of history for as long as history has existed. Sometimes, however, our stories don't quite make it to the top of the list of important achievements in perpetuity. I say, let's rewrite the history books and make sure women, across all industries, are given their place in history. Some day, women won't need a special day to have our achievements recognized. In the meantime, we have International Women's Day to help remind the world that 50% of the population has done our fair share of shaping and making the world we live in today. To read the full article about  woman in tech visit https://www.imore.com/celebrating-women-tech-international-womens-day Qlik is proud to say that we are doing our part to empower the next general of woman within analytics.  Our Academic Program offers female students free data analytics software, a year of free training, the opportunity to receive a Qlik Sense certificate and more!  All they have to do is apply online today by visiting Qlik Academic Program ...

Medair provides a safe place to live, healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene. In addition to this, they also identify and map all of the informal settlements in Bekaa Valley, so that the humanitarian community can use this to identify where the unmet and urgent needs are.

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of giving my first presentation on the Qlik Academic Program at Henley Business School in Reading, UK. Myself and one of our great Solutions Architects Henry Carse, went along to talk to around 70 MBA students. After their lecture on visualisations by Professor Keiichi Nakata, we introduced the students to Qlik and enabled them to see how this theory could be put in to practice.  As well as covering unique Qlik capabilities such as the Associative Difference, we also gave demos of real life use cases of our software, from examples in health services to businesses across a variety of industries. And there was even a demo involving Game of Thrones which went down very well with the students! If you are an academic or student at a University and would be interested in getting involved in our Academic Program for similar opportunities, as well as free software and learning resources, please apply here: https://www.qlik.com/us/company/academic-program ...
