Later I learned that Professor Peter Serracino Inglott, then University Rector, was being very actively prodded by Mr Anton Tabone, then Minister for Gozo, to open a University branch in Gozo. At first I was inclined to refuse the offer. I was sure that very few lecturers – if any – would want to offer their services in Gozo, given the time and discomfort involved in travelling to and from the Island. Relying on Gozitan lecturers was not an option, since there were very few of them and in any case, most of them worked in Malta. Finding a solution to this problem was a major challenge. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/90659 Title: A regional development strategy for Gozo Abstract: A consultation document on Gozo Regional Development Strategy for 2021-2030 that was launched in July by the Gozo Regional Development Authority (GRDA) will serve as a roadmap for future initiatives undertaken with respect to Gozo in the next ten years. The draft strategy proposed on a number of key priority areas that are crucial for the future success of Gozo. These cover all aspects from social development, development of new industries to the islands’ infrastructure, ensuring a holistic approach that safeguards and sustains the wellbeing of Gozo, its inhabitants, visitors, business investors, and future generations. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/90657 Title: Bernardo De Opuo : fact or fiction? Abstract: Four hundred and seventy years ago this year, the island of Gozo suffered its worst siege in recorded history. In his Dell’Istoria della Sacra Religione et Ill[ustrissi]ma Militia di San Giovanni Gierosolimitano, first published in Rome in 1602, Giacomo Bosio, the official historian of the Knights of St John, wrote how questa tragedia was consummated on Sunday, 26 July 1551. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
