Cross-University Network

Create a collaboration network linking students, researchers, and alumni from world-class institutions.

Career Pipeline

Develop a training and recruitment pipeline bridging academia with quantitative finance and high-performance engineering.

Talent Development

Serve as a training ground for world-class problem solvers, fostering competitive excellence.

Looking Ahead

KCPC's long-term goal is to establish London as a global hub for competitive programming and algorithmic excellence.

We aim to achieve this by combining:

1. The academic strength of the UK's top universities

2. The institutional support of KCL Tech and KCLSU

3. The international reach of Orthant's advanced computational ecosystem

The result is a sustainable environment where talented students grow into world-class problem solvers, researchers collaborate across borders, and industry partners access highly-trained algorithmic talent.
