Women Together is a nationwide initiative of ABSL Poland, which has already been successfully operating in WrocÅ‚aw, Kraków, PoznaÅ„ and the Tri-City. Its goal is to consolidate professionals from the business services sector and create a platform that facilitates networking and professional development. The next step in the natural development of the initiative is ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ â€“ a city where the ABSL Poland Chapter, led by Agnieszka Belowska-GosÅ‚awska, Vice President of Technology at ABSL Poland, is thriving.
The University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ, as a space for dialogue and social co-responsibility, actively participates in this initiative, underlining the importance of equality, inclusiveness and intersectoral cooperation.
