Notice Title

Workspace Academic Annual Licence

Notice Description

Refinitiv are the sole providers of Thomson Reuters Eikon, Datastream and Worldscope. The afore mentioned software was purchased from the supplier individually, but they have changed the way these can be supplied. All these products now come under the Workspace package, therefore we need to sign up for that in order to continue to use the above for teaching and learning. Like other companies such as Bloomberg, Refinitv started the databases many decades ago and they are the sole providers of this software."
