The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights is pleased to introduce its new administrative director: Patricia Mussi-Mailer (40) has been responsible for the Institute’s management since March 1, focusing on finance, human resources, organisation and strategy. Mussi-Mailer spent two years as an editor at ORF-Radio FM4 while studying German philology and philosophy at the University of Vienna. She then completed a Master’s degree in International Politics and Economics at the Johns Hopkins University in the US. She was a consultant at the PR agency Pleon Publico, managing director of the European Forum Alpbach from 2008 to 2012 and most recently managing director of the Austrian Retail Association.

Fiona Steinert, who has managed the BIM for 13 years with great success, is devoting herself to new tasks. Her co-director, Patricia Hladschik, continues to head the BIM’s human rights education department. We would like to thank Fiona for the time together and wish her all the best for the future.
