Abstract: NEXT-FOOD-MT is Malta’s first national study to examine what adolescents know, see,
and choose about food in their everyday lives. Led by Prof. Sarah Cuschieri, the project
explores 13- to 15-year-old students’ understanding of front-of-pack labels alongside the
school, neighbourhood, and home environments that shape their choices. Working with
students, parents, and teachers, it moves beyond what young people eat to understand how
their food decisions are formed. In doing so, it aims to generate evidence that can support
more realistic education and policies for a healthier generation.2026-06-01T00:00:00ZCuriosity has no age : rewriting what it means to grow older in Malta/library/oar/handle/123456789/1483972026-08-04T10:28:52Z2026-06-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Curiosity has no age : rewriting what it means to grow older in Malta
Abstract: When we think of discrimination, gender or race usually come to mind first. Ageism
– discrimination based on age – is often forgotten. The World Health Organisation's
(WHO) Global Report on Ageism (2021) found that half of the world's population holds
ageist attitudes towards older adults, including the damaging assumption that they are
incompetent or unwilling to learn. At the University of Malta, in collaboration with
Xjenza Malta and Esplora Interactive Science Centre, neuroscientist and dementia
researcher Prof. Charles Scerri is proving that this is far from the truth.2026-06-01T00:00:00ZContagion of form : the new LACES mural at the ½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ Library/library/oar/handle/123456789/1483962026-08-04T10:22:22Z2026-06-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Contagion of form : the new LACES mural at the ½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ Library
Abstract: Developed through LACES (Lab for Art, Community, Ecology & Science), the new mural at
the ½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ Library brings together science, art, and community voices into a layered visual system.
Moving between data, environment, and lived experience, it traces how knowledge forms,
spreads, and transforms when disciplines and perspectives come into contact.2026-06-01T00:00:00ZThe ghost in the machine : criminal liability in the age of autonomous AI/library/oar/handle/123456789/1483952026-08-04T10:13:14Z2026-06-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The ghost in the machine : criminal liability in the age of autonomous AI
Abstract: In the grand theatre of legal history, we have always had
a clear protagonist: the human being. Our laws, from the
Code of Hammurabi to the modern penal codes of Europe,
are predicated on human agency. We punish the mind that
plots and the hand that strikes. But today, we stand on the
precipice of a juridical revolution. We are inviting a new
actor onto the stage – one that can think, act, and evolve,
yet possesses neither a soul to damn nor a body to imprison.2026-06-01T00:00:00Z
