MEDAC鈥檚 postgraduate students completed a study visit to Berlin, Germany in May 2023.

The students were accompanied by Prof. Stephen Calleya, Director of MEDAC, Dr. Monika Wohlfeld, Holder of the German Chair and Ms Lourdes Pullicino, lecturer.
During the study visit, MEDAC staff and students participated in a series of discussions at the German Federal Foreign Office, organized by German Ambassador to Malta, H.E. Walter Hassmann. H.E. Vanni Xuereb, Malta鈥檚 Ambassador to Germany, accompanied the group on this occasion. Prof. Calleya, Dr. Wohlfeld and Ms Pullicino visited the Maltese Embassy and met with Amb. Xuereb. A bilateral meeting and a discussion with MEDAC students who are holders of MEDAC-KAS Regional Programme Political Dialogue And Regional Integration In The Southern Mediterranean took place with Mr Philipp Burkhardt, Policy Adviser Middle East and North Africa Department, European and International Cooperation at the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung.
Germany, though the German Federal Foreign Office, is a stakeholder in MEDAC since 2009.
