Saying goodbye to our colleague

We are saying goodbye to IFOAM Organics Europe’s Policy and Research & Innovation trainee Pia Müller-Cyran. Pia joined the office in September 2020 as European Solidarity Corps volunteer in the Policy team. After 6 months of volunteering she became a trainee.

Pia did a great job on green public procurement and promotion policies, supporting Policy Officer Silvia Schmidt with her activities. She was a valuable contributor managing the newly founded subgroup of the Interest Group of Organic Farmers on animal welfare, organising policy-related events and coordinating our work on the Civil Dialogue Groups (CDGs).

Pia left IFOAM Organics Europe in April 2021 to go back to Germany and continue developing the organic movement as graduate assistant at the state of Baden-Württemberg, facilitating interaction between organic and conventional farmers by developing an organic demo farm network. We would like to thank Pia for her dedication to IFOAM Organics Europe’s work and wish her all the best in this exciting next step in her career. We will miss her, especially by her colleagies in the Policy and Research & Innovation teams
