The next year will be Malta’s Year of Culture. How about thinking about a future Malta’s Year of Science?
In 2018, the City of Toulouse, in France, is hosting the European City of Science.
I am sure there is a lot of science going on in Malta that we can share with others. Just to mention one event, the annual Science in the City is always a success with many people volunteering and others interested in the events.
Also, the events of Cafè Scientifique are always well attended with a mature audience asking for more information.
Seminars by visiting scientists are forever enthusiastically welcomed by many people. I am sure there are many scientific research and development projects going on, not only in academia but also in industry, that can be shared with one and all.
Such an event would encourage more youngsters to opt for the study of science subjects.
I hope that someone will take this initiative to start the ball rolling.
