Since the creation of the BITAFAL – UM Sustainable Asphalt Chair, the synergy with that study house has been increasing day by day. A new instance in this sense was the Training in Asphalt Emulsions that our technical team provided for advanced Engineering students and professionals in the road sector. There Ignacio and Santiago Kröger spoke, providing an introduction to asphalt emulsions, their different applications and also about best practices in the road industry. The day was a success, allowing students and professionals to learn first-hand the advantages of using asphalt emulsions, through the experience of those who apply them in a large number of projects.
Visit to the BITAFAL plant
One of the objectives of the CAS is to allow students to come into contact with the reality of the industry. For this reason, together with the management team of the Faculty of Engineering (FIUM) we organized a group visit to our production plant. In it, the students were able to learn first-hand about the production process of asphalt and asphalt emulsions and visited our research and development laboratory, where these products are constantly analyzed and improved. For BITAFAL it was a great joy to welcome future professionals, with whom they will surely continue to interact throughout their professional career.
Job fair
Like every year, the FIUM organized its traditional Employment Fair, a day aimed at bringing companies closer to the faculty so that students can get in touch with the world of work in their specific areas. BITAFAL was present with a stand whose proposal was both informative and playful and which also featured the presentation of the company's 100% electric truck. Throughout the day, dozens of students came to learn more about the structure of our company and the professional development possibilities it offers.
Open Session BITAFAL – IEEM
We held the Bitafal IEEM Open Session, where participants had the opportunity to explore the Case Method, a valuable tool to address dilemmas in the road industry and strengthen decision-making skills. This methodology helps us: – Clearly identify the problems you face. – Define the desired future and the decisions you must make. – Explore action plans that resolve these dilemmas. – Imagine the consequences of your decisions before acting. We continue to promote knowledge!
