The SEA-EU Affairs committee has been set up to effectively support the SEA-EU alliance in all areas within the University of Malta. Lead academics and administration staff have been nominated as lead experts in essential areas of building this European University. The aim is to identify and address challenges to the alliance’s success and to promote synergies between the University of Malta and the SEA-EU partners. This committee will also serve as a catalyst to promote the SEA-EU alliance with all UM academics, administrative staff and students and to entrench the SEA-EU mindset within the UM institutional framework.
