On Monday 22 January, 2024, the High Commissioner of Australia to Malta, H.E. Mr Matt Skelly paid a visit to the University of Malta Msida campus, where he was greeted at its Archaeology Centre by Prof. Timmy Gambin and Dr Carmel Serracino from the Department of Classics & Archaeology and the Director of UM’s International Office, Ms Stefania Agius Fabri.
The High Commissioner was shown some of the artefacts and equipment situated at the Centre that were found or used for the Phoenician Shipwreck Project as well other objects from similar initiatives.
Possible, near-future collaborations between the High Commission and the Department of Classics & Archaeology were also on the table for discussion.
