Grech and Zammit are the originators and organisers of the Star Trek symposium which aimed to gather scientists from various disciplines and different corners of the world.

The symposium was held under the auspices of the University’s Humanities, Medicine and Sciences programme which has been set up to explore and en­courage interface between the humanities, medicine and the sciences, and facilitate and disseminate cross-disciplinary re­search. It was the first academic symposium of its kind in Malta.


The Zone’s Lucia Farrugia met Zammit and Grech to ask them about how and why they came up with the idea to launch the symposium and the outcome of the event.
