Foreword [Symposia Melitensia, 16]

Abstract

The Junior College was set up in 1995 as part of the University of Malta. Since the very beginning, members of staff have felt the need, and sought the possibility to publish their research in an academic journal. Following the setting up of an Editorial Board, work started on the publication of the first edition of Symposia Melitensia in 2004. Although this journal was published by the University of Malta Junior College, it has always been open to all researchers and academics. The journal has had a multi-disciplinary nature since its inception, and has been successfully published annually since its first edition 15 years ago. Today is an opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to previous editors for their invaluable work, all the members of the Editorial Board who peer-reviewed the papers, as well as to all contributors.
