Christin Konrad serves as Internal Governance Officer within CIRAS – IIGO, contributing legal expertise, ethical orientation, and human-centered governance competence to the organization. She is a qualified attorney with a professional background rooted in social administration, legal practice, and independent advocacy.
Her professional path began with formal training in business administration, followed by work as a social insurance specialist. Motivated by a strong commitment to justice and human dignity, she subsequently pursued the study of law, focusing early on areas with direct impact on individuals and families, including social law, medical law, labor law, and family law.

Alongside her legal practice, she has engaged for many years in interdisciplinary inquiry into societal resilience, healing processes, and the conditions that support human well-being and dignity. Her interests include consciousness research, integrative approaches to health, and emerging models of cooperative living and social organization. In this context, she supports and co-founds community-based initiatives that emphasize responsibility, freedom, mutual respect, and sustainable human connection as practical governance values.
