Merlin’s Beverages, together with OF Systems and Multilab, organized a workshop for students and academic staff from the „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, as part of the partnership established in 2025.
The collaboration aims to facilitate knowledge transfer between academia and industry, while also helping students develop their professional skills through educational activities and internship opportunities.
During their visit to the Merlin’s Beverages production facility, participants had the opportunity to explore the main technological processes involved in beverage manufacturing and bottling, become familiar with production parameter monitoring and quality control methods, and observe how scientific principles are applied in laboratory activities.
Discussions also covered the internship opportunities offered by the company, through which students can bridge the gap between academic knowledge and professional requirements, gaining hands-on experience in an industrial environment.
We believe that bringing universities and the private sector closer together contributes to the development of practical skills, the exchange of expertise, and the preparation of future specialists. Initiatives like this provide an opportunity to share industry knowledge and support the professional development of the next generation.
We would like to thank the „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, Professor Liviu-George Maha, PhD, Rector of the University, the academic staff involved, and Associate Professor Roxana-Gabriela Curcă, PhD, coordinator of the partnership, for their openness and commitment to developing this collaboration.
We would also like to thank our partners, OF Systems and Multilab, for their contribution to organizing the workshop.
