What is LSEG Workspace

LSEG Workspace for Students is the student version of LSEG flagship product. Apart from LSEG Workspace, our users can also use Datastream add-on to access financial data in deep.

Please note that LSEG Workspace is for academic purposes only. Any use for commercial purposes, including internships, is prohibited. Upon completing projects or coursework, users should make every effort to delete this information or data. Any unauthorized use will be reported to LSEG immediately and access will be terminated without further notice.

Who can register

Eligibility  

Current HKU full-time teaching/research staff and students can apply for the access. Access will be approved based on the availability of license. If all the licenses are used up, your access will be assigned when there is license available again. Due to the limited number of licenses, access will be granted for one-month for each application. You should note your project due date when you apply for the access. After your access is expired, you should apply the access again if you still need the data. It will be approved depending on the availability of the licenses.


No urgent request will be responded. If you need data urgently, please consider to use other e-resources. 

 

Assignment of login is subjected to the availability of license, and the user cannot continuously occupy the license based on the principle of fairness.
