Happy National Intern Day! We at Westlake Global Compounds are always thrilled to welcome fresh faces to our team. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone not only enjoys their time with us but also gains valuable knowledge and experience. Today, we're shining the spotlight on Alessandra Crippa, a bright Material Science engineering student from the University of Maryland, who has been immersing herself in the research and development department at our Samarate, Italy site for the past two months. Alessandra shared some insights into her journey with us: "Working in the R&D department at Westlake Compounds Italy has been an enlightening experience. As a student engrossed in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, it's not every day I get to apply my academic knowledge in the private sector. This opportunity has been invaluable. I've learned to operate professional machinery and see projects through from inception to final application. The hands-on experience of conducting tests independently and engaging in practical learning has made me feel like an integral part of the research team. Every day brings new tasks and learning opportunities, keeping the spark of curiosity alive and banishing boredom entirely. One of the most enriching aspects of my stay has been understanding the differences between working cultures in the U.S. and Italy. As I prepare to return home, I carry with me a certainty that fuels my passion - I am on the right path in my career journey post-university." We're proud to provide a platform for young talents like Alessandra to flourish and are excited to see what the future holds for her! #WestlakeCompounds #R&D #InternshipExperience #CareerGrowth #InternationalWorkCulture #EngineeringStudents #nationalinternday

Auf besonders anschauliche Weise fördert das Aventinus-Gymnasium in Burghausen das Umweltbewusstsein seiner Achtklässler: In einem einjährigen, fächerübergreifenden Forschungsprojekt setzen sich die Schülerinnen und Schüler in Zusammenarbeit mit der Universität Innsbruck intensiv mit dem Klimawandel auseinander. Höhepunkt ist ein Forschungsaufenthalt in Schladming, denn die Einflüsse des Klimawandels sind in Gebirgsräumen besonders deutlich sichtbar. Für uns bei Westlake Vinnolit sind Umweltschutz und Nachhaltigkeit zentrale Themen, die uns alle beschäftigen, und es ist uns wichtig, dass sich auch Jugendliche frühzeitig damit auseinandersetzen. Daher unterstützen wir dieses Projekt sehr gerne. Thomas Kufner, Leiter des Westlake Vinnolit Standorts Burghausen, überreichte den Spendenscheck über 1000 € an Direktor Dr. Ulrich Kanz und Oberstudienrat Stephan Sitzberger vom Aventinus Gymnasium in Burghausen. #Umweltbildung #Klimawandel
