21 May 11:00 - 12:30 (Moscow time) Finland: technology, metallurgy, training and business
Our closest European neighbor is Finland. Since we can’t travel yet, WIM RU decided to introduce you to cool girls-engineers and researchers virtually, so that when the borders open, you can already go to a country you know a lot about. We have prepared an interesting overview about Finland, the industry, the work of an engineer, motherhood and career.
Irina Kachelina, Director of Corporate Governance – Advisor to the Managing Director, Nornickel Harjavalta , Finland.
Irina is an example of a female leader in the metallurgical industry. She will tell how the employer provides and promotes equal career opportunities for men and women, and why women leaders are especially in demand now.
On the territory of the state, mainly zinc, copper, iron ore and vanadium are mined. Metal ores account for more than 40% of the value of mining products. Near the city of Tornio (Kemi-Tornio village, Lapland) there is a deposit of chromium and nickel, which are used for the production of alloy steel.
