The year 2010 brings a lot of challenges and changes for the TRIALOG team. Our Information Officer Anita Bister, who has been working with us for the last six years, decided to leave TRIALOG for personal reasons. We are very sorry to lose her as a highly professional and reliable colleague and wish her all the best for the future. In May, Anita will be replaced by Ulrike Bey who has been doing already an internship with TRIALOG in the last two months. Ulrike is German and holds a masters degree in social anthropology, sociology and politics of economics from the University of Münster. Between 2001 and 2009 she co-ordinated the Burma-Initiative and a project on Asian Development in the German Asia Foundation.
Brigitte Quehenberger, TRIALOG Administrative Assistant, will have a baby in the beginning of August and will go on maternity leave in June, for probably 15 months. Her maternity leave replacement is Elisa Romero who will start her work with TRIALOG in the beginning of September. Elisa finished her “Languages, Economics and Cultural Area Studies” in Germany and is currently working as Assistant to the Director of HORIZONT3000, TRIALOG's lead agency.
And last but not least "we" will also have a baby in our Brussels office: our Policy Officer Rebecca Steel-Jasińska is expecting a baby in September. Due to the different regulations for maternity leave in Belgium, Rebecca will only go on maternity leave in the middle of September till probably end of March 2011. Her maternity leave replacement will be recruted in June and start in the beginning of September (see Job advertisement).
Together with our Capacity Building Officer Andra Tanase we will ensure a smooth handover to our new colleagues and do our best to maintain the same quality and quantity of TRIALOG work also in future.
