The Research, Publications and Scholarship Committee was set up by the Board of the Faculty for Social Wellbeing in 2012, when the Faculty itself was established, under the chairship of Professor Angela Abela. In February 2016, Faculty Board appointed Dr Anne-Marie Callus as chair, whilst in October 2020 Dr Ruth Falzon was appointed as the new chair. Currently the Committee is being chaired by Dr Trevor Calafato, appointed by Faculty Board in November 2021. The aims of the committee are:
to create an environment where the culture for research, publications and scholarship within the Faculty can grow
to provide opportunities for Faculty members to work together on interdisciplinary research projects
to showcase research that is currently being carried out by Faculty members and enable them to disseminate the results of their research
to provide opportunities for further enhancement of research-related skills. Since its inception in 2012, the Research, Publications and Scholarship Committee has carried out several initiatives in line with these aims.
