Cheers to our global gang! 🌍🌟 As the year draws to a close, we're giving a shoutout to the 13,000 amazing contributors on our platform. By leveraging Byron, the exchange within our company becomes more seamless, paving the way for new projects and strengthening our unity within Bayer. 🚀 Presenting this exclusive POAP as a massive thank you, because without you, this platform wouldn't be what it is. 🙌 Byron, an acronym for Bayer Open Network, is our Skills database for Bayer employees, including speed networking. We kicked off in 2018 as a True North grassroots side initiative, going live in 2020. Created by over 40 students and programming enthusiasts with the help of EY Croatia. Today, we have 13,000 registered users from 89 countries, in 293 cities. People have searched for something in Byron at least 25,000 times and engaged in 31,000 1:1 Speed network meetings. http://go/byron Looking ahead, we're thrilled about the future and the prospect of our community growing even larger. Can't wait for more collaborations and successes together in the coming year! 🎉✨ Art created by Lena Schermer

Benedikt leads the Clinical Data Sciences and Analytics unit within Bayer Pharma R&D in CD&O.

The SCLM4Future project together with the PRINCE (Preclinical Information Center) project as well as the CONDAS (Connecting Data for Science) team is an excellent example for a successful cross-functional collaboration between CD&O, RED preMed and DS&AI within Research & Development but also between Platform IT and external partners. Together the team achieved to overcome legacy manual processes, redundant maintenance work, and functional silos by introducing new digital solutions and concepts with a strong collaborative mindset. The newly released SCLM 2.0 (Standard Codelist Maintenance) & PTO (Preclinical Terminology and Ontology) systems will enable our organization to improve the quality of controlled terminologies with regards to standard codelists and codes while reducing maintenance time and effort. This will have a positive impact on the code/codelist consistency across clinical and preclinical, as well as the compliance to regulatory requirements (e.g. CDISC (Clinical Data Interchange Standard Consortium) Controlled Terminology). The approach to share our knowledge as well as our efforts across functions will be an important step to archive our goals to increase data quality, interoperability and reusability – or to make a long story short: to make our data even more FAIR.
