Editorial : the University Gozo Centre : 10 years on

Abstract

An editorial promoting the University Gozo Centre's tenth anniversary since it opened its doors for the first time and started the arduous road of organising tertiary studies in Gozo. In an introductory note, the Rector of the University, Professor Roger Ellul-Micallef explains why such a venture was a must. "It is difficult for Gozitans in employment to follow part-time University courses at the Tal-Qroqq campus" he said. He continues: "The Centre's activities extend beyond teaching. It has undertaken research in various subjects associated with Gozo, including its economy, its social fabric and its demography. The Centre' presence in Gozo has generated an intellectual revival, partly the result of the great number of scholars that regularly visit Gozo to lecture at the Centre.
