Young people are the pulse of the future – with unstoppable energy, fresh and unique ideas, they enrich the work environment. At Novartis, we therefore open our doors wide to them and include them in decision-making processes at the highest level of the company. Špela Mičunović, a member of the Novartis Young Advisory Board, confirms that this innovative HR approach brings invaluable benefits – it allows young people to actively shape their work environment and provides the company with important insights and new solutions, laying the foundations for a future that goes beyond the ordinary.

"A career in science allows you to do something for others and leave your mark on the world," summarizes Dr. Mateja Kramer, Global Head of Innovation in Technical Research and Development (TRD) at Novartis in Slovenia, as the reason for her career choice. She is proud that she has managed to create a path in science while balancing professional and private life, and she encourages her colleagues to do the same within her role in the company. She believes that for good science, breakthrough innovations, and the best possible results for patients, we need diverse teams.

One of the central services performed by the Novartis team in Slovenia is engineering. Robert Hribar, head of engineering at Novartis Corporate Centre, who leads a team of around 170 engineers in Ljubljana and Hyderabad, India, says the company now has many open investments and projects managed by dedicated and technologically savvy engineers.
