Milla Vidina

Milla Vidina is a Senior Policy Officer at Equinet, leading Equinet’s work on AI and algorithmic discrimination and co-coordinating activities related to socio-economic discrimination as well as research and equality data collection. She was previously the Bulgarian Equality Body international affairs unit lead, having worked for civil society organizations supporting refugees, the UN World Food Programme and political campaigns in Bulgaria and the USA. She is a graduate (awarded full scholarship) of Princeton University’s Department of Politics (M.A.) and holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and legal studies from Macalester College (B.A.), U.S. She pursues doctoral work on the interaction between the EU’s AI Act and non-discrimination law and has published on the topic.

Fun fact: Milla has lived in Yemen, earned her first pocket money selling porcini (gathered in her native Bulgaria) for the Italian market and interned for the United States Democratic Senator Paul Wellstone, who mysteriously died in a plane crash in the fall of 2002 just as Congress was embroiled in heated debates regarding the possible invasion of Iraq. Milla does not believe in conspiracy theories but she “compensates” this sound reason by her belief in zodiac signs.
