In 2004 IZE put forward a proposal to the WAZA for helping realising an IZE Central Office. The WAZA board responded very positively and decided during the WAZA Conference 2004 in Taipei to offer room, equipment and an one day a week staff member in their headquarters in Bern. This gives IZE the possibility to professionalise strongly and to build a much stable basis for all kind of activities.

In December 2004 Silvia Geser (pronounce: Gayser) started as the first employee of the IZE Central Office. Silvia originates from eastern Switzerland and did her University studies at Berne. After field work on Alpine chamnois in the Berner Oberland, she completed her studies in 2003 with the degree of a Master of Science in Biology with major in Zoology. Subsequently, Silvia got her first job at the Endangered Species Section of the Swiss Federal Veterinary Office before joining WAZA and... IZE Central Office.
