<p>One of the activities organised by PLIVA to mark its 80th anniversary is granting |
5 |
scholarships to the most talented students in Croatia, Poland and the Czech |
6 |
Republic. In Croatia, scholarships will be given to undergraduates in their |
7 |
final year of studies at the Faculty of Science - Department of Chemistry, Faculty |
8 |
of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Faculty of Pharmacy and Medical Biochemistry, |
9 |
Faculty of Economy and Faculty of Law. PLIVA's subsidiaries in Poland and Czech |
10 |
Republic, PLIVA Krakow and PLIVA-Lachema, will grant the scholarships to students |
11 |
of those universities that directly correlate with the current needs of each |
12 |
company. According to the criteria for the scholarships, the students are expected |
13 |
to have enrolled in their fifth semester, have above average marks (4.0 and |
14 |
higher) and proficiency in English. All information regarding the scholarships |
15 |
will be available on <a href="http://www.pliva.hr/multi.php?p=1">www.pliva.hr</a>.</p> |
16 |
<p>In line with the latest trends and the fact that people and their skills are |
17 |
acknowledged as the greatest resource, for years PLIVA has been supporting the |
18 |
most talented students of related fields of expertise. After graduating, the |
19 |
students join PLIVA's interdisciplinary teams that work in a multinational environment. |
20 |
As is the case with other PLIVA employees, they get the possibility to advance |
21 |
professionally and personally, gain experience in broad areas of work and develop |
22 |
their career. Earlier this year, PLIVA, as a pharmaceutical company that operates |
23 |
on the global markets and is a domestic producer in several CEE countries, launched |
24 |
an International Mobility Program. The goal of the project is to develop competencies |
25 |
to work in different environments and for that purpose the participants of the |
26 |
program move and work for six months at PLIVA's other locations in Krakow, Brno, |
27 |
Prague and Zagreb. The program is well accepted by employees and managers alike |
28 |
and is perceived as a facilitator of integration processes.</p> |
29 |
<p>Among the other activities and events planned to celebrate PLIVA's 80th anniversary, |
30 |
we would like to announce the annual "Vladimir Prelog Organic Chemistry Award" |
31 |
for young Croatian scientists to be held on 16th October, and the international |
32 |
Scientific Forum that will be held on 23rd November to mark 65 years of continuous |
33 |
in-house research in PLIVA.</p> |
