The six-member delegation that spent several days in the Lower Saxony metropolis visited the company headquarters early in February. Aside from the cultural exchange – BARTHAUER’s Managing Director Anis Saad is also from Tunisia – the focus was mainly on technical networking between the two sides and the participants engaged in a lively and constructive discussion about the optimum administration of municipal infrastructure data.
Barthauer Software GmbH is a software provider for integrated asset management systems and, aside from branches in Munich and Würzburg, also maintains a subsidiary in Sousse. The company’s flagship product, the network information system BaSYS, offers comprehensive tools for managing the entire lifecycle of supply and disposal networks, including water, wastewater and rainwater networks in particular. With the help of extensive know-how accumulated by the BARTHAUER development team through decades of national and international expertise in the network information system field, a few starting points have now been defined for the future exchange with Tunisia. “Not only did the visit of the Tunisian delegation to our premises in Braunschweig allow us to have a technically very promising discussion, it was also a great joy for me to welcome my compatriots personally to our company headquarters. We look forward to continuing our discussion soon in Sousse,” says Anis Saad, Managing Director of Barthauer Software GmbH, describing the next step.
Neuer Forschungseinsatz für die Polarstern
Mit dem Auslaufen des Forschungsschiffes Polarstern aus Punta Arenas (Chile) begann am 6. Februar die internationale Expedition „Summer Weddell Sea Outflow Study“ (SWOS). Bis Anfang April untersucht ein multidisziplinäres internationales Forschungsteam den nordwestlichen Teil des Weddellmeeres – ein Gebiet von zentraler Bedeutung für das globale Klima- und Ozeansystem, das wegen schwieriger Eisbedingungen jedoch ausschließlich von Forschungseisbrechern wie der Polarstern vor Ort erkundet werden kann.
