Vella accompanied by Ms Stefania Agius Fabri, Director International Office held talks with HE Elissa Golberg, High Commissioner of Canada to Malta and Ms Virginie Lévesque, Counsellor, Public Affairs and Advocacy. The High Commissioner is resident in Rome.
The High Commissioner was briefed on existing academic collaboration with Universities in Canada and the exchange of students and academic staff. Opportunities for research engagement, particularly on the five super clusters identified by the Canadian government will be explored. A proposal to extend invites to the UM for Canadian performers, academics and researchers visiting Rome was warmly received and will be duly considered for the future.
