Maria Trini

Maria leads our grant management and IT and  teams within the Foundation's Finance and Administration department. 
Her teams are dedicated to the administrative guidance and processing of our support grants, as well as providing essential internal information technology services to enhance our work. 
Working closely with her teams, Maria continuously develops and refines our funding processes and instruments, alongside our IT infrastructure, ensuring we remain future-proof and agile.
She joined us in 2008 as a Project Manager in our Education department. In this role, she managed projects focused on early childhood cultural education, the transition from school to vocational life, and later, cultural projects such as the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize. Subsequently, Maria transitioned to our Finance and administration section, where she effectively built a bridge between administrative functions and our support activities.
