The advantages of a multidisciplinary team – my personal experience
As the scientist I am, I have always considered myself as a curious person with the need to question my environment and learn more about the unknown.
Going a little bit deeper into my personal experience, I spent 15 years in the same school. I began when I was 3 and finished with 18, and during all these years I was in contact with the same people, living in the same city, sharing pretty close interests. At that time, I did not realise that most of us had become, inevitably, a little close-minded. Once I finished school, I decided I was interested in health field, so I began Human Biology degree at university, where I met people from different places, mostly from Spain. This was at the same time surprising and stimulating, since they shared with me their opinions and life experiences, which turned out to be quite different from mine.
Nevertheless, it was not until I had the opportunity to start working in Microptic, that I realised how enriching it can be to be surrounded by people from different areas of expertise (and ages!). Thanks to working right next to my colleagues from Marketing, Sales and Development departments, among others, and being in an open space office, I have picked up wide knowledge and I feel that I have also grown as a person.
It is always a challenge to get out of the “comfort zone” and learn new skills that may not be related to our studies. But, at the same time, and specially nowadays that we live in a very fast-changing environment, we can say that any new learning can be useful.

MICROPTIC S.L.
I want to comment on this nice conceptual blog of Gloria (not because of her kind words about me, thanks) but to add to her experience and my experience about the importance of teams. I have also been incredibly fortunate to work in close “team work” with Mictoptic SL for the last 14 years and over this period realized why they are so successful. They work as an amazing team and if you visit their workplace it is like a beehive of hard core work activity, interaction and no minute is spared to excel in relation to customers and new development. For example they work EVERY DAY on not only improving current software for SCA and SCAScope but also supporting their customers. Furthermore, they are very flexible and open minded to use expertise from institutes and universities to further improve their products. So, who is it at Microptic SL that must the credit…THE TEAM!!!
Nice words, Gerhard! Thank you! A pleasure to have you in our team.
As a customer of Microptic, when I face any problem they always be side by side with me till resolving this problem. Especially Gloria and Eduard.

Thank you for your nice comment!! Microptic is a leading company thanks to our customers. Best regards.
