This month, the Institute for European Studies and the Department of International Relations at the Faculty of Arts held the first research seminar in the series 'Ideas in Brown Bags'.
The aim of this research seminar series, which focuses on key issues in European and international politics, is twofold: to increase the research output of the University of Malta by presenting state-of-the-art research developed by resident and visiting members of staff, and to identify gaps where further research is needed to support policy.
The first research seminar was delivered by Dr Zulima Sanchez, Professor of Administrative Law at the University of Salamanca (Spain), who presented a paper entitled 'European Union Asylum Law: Safeguarding the Tradition of Asylum or Cementing a Fortress?'. Dr Isabelle Calleja Ragonesi, from the Department of International Relations, acted as the main discussant by giving precise feedback, and started off the discussion among all participants.
