In the light of previous experiences gained in the hosting of international conferences, the University of Malta Junior College will from this year be holding The Junior College Multi-disciplinary Conference: Research, Practice and Collaboration. The scope and intent of this event is to create on the Junior College campus an intellectual and cultural hub characterised by the collegial efforts in research and development of local academics, as well as creating a multi-disciplinary dialogue between different international academic institutions. This conference also intends to further place the Junior College on the local and international academic roadmap.
