#MetrykaMnieNieTyka (eng. the years do not bother me) – this is the motto of this year’s edition of the opinion poll “Barometer Bayer”, commissioned by Bayer. This is the eighth edition of the project, which aims to diagnose awareness of important social trends. The latest study illustrates the life situation of seniors and the mutual perception of young and elderly people. Both groups are unanimous: health is the most important value that gives a chance for a successful life in elderly age. The next priority belongs to the relationships with the spouse or partner and family. According to elderly respondents, old age begins at 67 years, while younger people define it at 60. The results were announced on June 14 at the Bayer headquarters. Omega Communication was responsible for media relations co-ordination.
Infor, a global leader in business cloud software specialized by industry, inaugurated the European Training Center – Infor Academy in Wrocław. This is the first unit of this type in the world.

It was already the second time that Siemens had the opportunity to support Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Poland’s educational program “Girls Go Technology” addressed to high school students from Jawor and the surrounding area. The aim of the workshops conducted on 6th June 2019 in Jawor was to provide young girls with knowledge and skills that will facilitate their professional start in the future.
The classes conducted by Siemens experts constituted the last of a series of workshops in this year’s edition. The participants had the opportunity to learn about virtual and augmented reality and take part in classes on design thinking that emphasized the importance of developing their soft skills. Siemens experts aimed at showing the students their inner strength and creativity and encouraging them to actively and persistently strive to achieve their goals.
Similarly to the original program of Siemens, Inżynierki 4.0, addressed to students of technical universities, the Girls Go Technology workshops are to inspire and support young women in improving their qualifications and continuous development. The main goal of such programs is to prepare the young generation for entering the labor market in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0.
