Thomson Reuters online training on Eikon

Writing about web page https://training.refinitiv.com/eikon/

Economics and other Departments' students can access Eikon at a dedicated PC in the Library - it is advisable to book the PC in advance via the catalogue entry for the database. Eikon provides global stock exchange data, detailed exchange rates and company data, as well as news and data on mergers and acquisitions. Datastream is still available currently at a different PC, but Thomson Reuters intend to withdraw Datastream later in 2021, so we recommend that you explore Eikon soon!

TR have an excellent training website for students, in addition to various guides available online.The online Refinitiv Academy also advertises webinars, which may be helpful. You can filter the list to find sessions on a specific database, at various skills levels, in English or other languages.

One caveat - after you open the Eikon icon on the PC desktop, please wait and do not try to enter any username or password. It may take over a minute, but you will be logged in to Eikon automatically, so you can ignore any instructions in the TR guides about installing Eikon or logging in.
