BVT Retreat
This year we tried something new for us – a retreat. We started on Wednesday, July 24th at 7 am. Divided into two cars, we drove to Berghülen, a lovely little hotel called “Hotel zum Ochsen”. Once we arrived, we got coffee and started with the strategy meeting and presentations from all the participants. Everyone really gave their best. It was very interesting and motivating, but there were also lots of funny moments. In the afternoon, we went on a hike around Blaubeuren and could admire the Blautopf and the Küssende Sau rock. It was a wonderful route and the weather was perfect. Back at the hotel, we ended the evening with conversations and games. On Thursday, we were able to visit Teva GmbH in Ulm. After a presentation of the company and its founding history, we were given a guided tour through the biotechnological facilities, including the recently built “Genesis” production building. We were very happy when two former BVT employees who are now working at Teva – Dr. Juliane Richter and Ben Sackmann – joined us during the lunch break. All in all, a really great and perfectly organized trip. Thank you, dear Maike, you did a wonderful job!
