CUNEF Universidad honours the winners of the 1st “Oil Market Dynamics” competition

CUNEF Universidad’s School of Business, Economics and Law, in collaboration with members of the Departments of Mathematics and Law, recently organised the first edition of the strategic simulation “Oil Market Dynamics”, an innovative academic initiative designed to encourage students to apply their knowledge and develop their analytical and decision-making skills in complex environments.

During the simulation, 26 students navigated competitive scenarios inspired by the international oil market, designing strategies, managing risks and responding to economic, geopolitical and regulatory variables. This experience enabled them to integrate their knowledge of economics, quantitative analysis and legal frameworks, showcasing CUNEF Universidad’s multidisciplinary educational approach.

The activity, held at the Almansa Campus, allowed participants to analyse how rational individual decisions can lead to unexpected global effects, while they gained several key insights on interdependence, incentives and pricing in complex markets. 

Winners of the Excellence Diploma

CUNEF Universidad would like to congratulate students Daniela Pérez Reich, Sigrid de la Quintana, Diego Guevara and Gonzalo Atela, who were awarded the Diploma of Strategic Excellence for the soundness of their decisions, the strategic coherence of their proposals and their ability to adapt to an ever-changing environment. Participants were evaluated by an academic panel comprising professors from different departments, highlighting the cross-disciplinary nature of the initiative. 

With this inaugural edition, CUNEF Universidad’s School of Business, Economics and Law consolidates its commitment to active methodologies, such as simulations and real-world case studies, to prepare students for global market challenges. The institution intends to continue this competition in future editions, expanding its scope and encouraging students across different degrees to participate, reflecting its steadfast focus on academic excellence and comprehensive student development.
