Supporting education

[GRI 203-1] In 2021, the Bank continued its cooperation with renowned universities, including the Warsaw School of Economics and the University of Warsaw, supporting universities in improving the quality of their infrastructure and changing their operating model during a pandemic, as well as students and graduates in developing their competencies. An example of cooperation is the coworking centre established by Bank Millennium and Warsaw School of Economics. It is a place for physical or virtual meetings, networking, consultations with business theoreticians and practitioners from the University and the Bank. The coworking centre serves students and alumni who have founded or are planning to found their own startup and want to bump their ideas up to business reality. In 2021, due to the pandemic, most of the activities were completed online.

As part of its cooperation with the Warsaw School of Economics, in 2021 Bank Millennium took part in a conference on Big Data, organized by the Students’ Statistics Circle. For the first time the conference was organized in the on-line formula, which made it possible to increase its range and reach out to students and graduates of all universities in Poland. Bank Millennium’s representatives ran one of the presentations. The Bank also participated in the 4th edition of the Business Sails competition dedicated to smart organizations. Bank Millennium’s representative was a member of the competition chapter. In October 2021, there was a presentation of the winners during the Warsaw School of Economics Entrepreneurs’ Club meeting.
