As we start our academic recess amidst a renewed storm of geopolitical tensions, it is good to take a moment to reflect and take stock of our actions. Over the past 3 years, amongst other things, at the University of Malta Centre for the Study and Practice of Conflict Resolution we have:

1. Organised a symposium which brought together an international consortium of academics to contribute towards conflict resolution in Ukraine. We passed on our recommendations friendly to the European Commission through Malta's National Contact Point for Horizon Europe. No funding has been made available for such projects over the past 3 years. Europe, we're ready when you are.

2. Delivered dual degree programmes in association with the Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution in Conflict Resolution and Mediterranean Security.

3. Organised a public lecture in association with the Office of the President of the Republic of Malta, under the auspices of HE Dr George Vella, delivered by Prof Fathali Moghaddam from Georgetown University on the topic of challenges to democracy.

4. Researched and delivered an instrument to measure Everyday Extremism, which study was funded by the European Commission through a Horizon Europe grant . The measure was featured in a BBC documentary by Zara McDermott on BBC One Live.

5. Hosted a seminar that led to the publication of a special issue concerned with temporal, spatial and embodied dimensions of geopolitics in the British Journal of Social Psychology, published by the British Psychological Society.

6. Hosted a seminar on Radicalisation and the social and institutional grounds that promote intolerance and extremism.

We take comfort in the knowledge that conflict resolution is not a state, but a process that results from a commitment. However vulnerable this commitment seems, we find the alternative to be at least equally dangerous, potentially even more so.

A scholarship will be offered to a Palestinian national to follow the dual MA programme in Conflict Resolution & Mediterranean Security, in association with the Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution, under this programme. More details in due course.

Very proud of our students!!! Way to go Samira 👍
