Changes in TRIALOG Team

The TRIALOG team is again in a moment of changes. Monika Matus who replaced our Policy Officer Rebecca Steel Jasińska during her maternity leave left us in June earlier than foreseen to join the Polish NGDO platform Grupo Zagranica as Policy Officer for the current Polish EU presidency. Rebecca will come back from maternity leave in September. This means that our Brussels office will be closed till September and the main responsibility for the working group on Enlargement, Pre-Accession and Neighbourhood (EPAN) lies now with the EPAN steering group. We would like to thank Monika for her engagement with TRIALOG. In order to contact the EPAN group, the interim chair is Valery Pandzharov, Email: v.pandzharov@ecip-bg.org.

Our Capacity Building Officer Andra Tanase will have a baby mid September and will go on maternity leave in the middle of July. Her replacement will be Faika El-Nagashi, graduated in Political Science, who for the last 11 years has been coordinating the regional cooperation in Eastern Europe on human rights, migration and access to public health care within the TAMPEP network. In this position she was reponsible for networking, capacity building, EU project development and research. Faika will start working with us at the end of August.

Due to the changes and holiday season, our offices will be closed as follows:
Brussels office closed all July and August
Vienna office closed from August 1st-19th
