[EN]

On 25 September 2026, Ms Kirsty Azzopardi from the Department of Maltese delivered a series of short Maltese language lessons at the University of Kiel, Germany, at the invitation of the SEA-EU office. The lessons were held as part of Kiel Science Day, which was itself part of the European Researchers’ Night programme.

The Maltese lessons took place alongside short lessons in other SEA-EU languages. Ms Azzopardi gave a brief overview of the history of Maltese and the languages that shaped it. 20 participants of various ages also had the opportunity to learn basic everyday phrases for introducing themselves and saying how they are doing, as well as common greetings.

During her visit, Ms Azzopardi also attended a stakeholder meeting on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), led by Vanessa Debiais-Sainton, as well as the EU Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) awards ceremony on 26 September 2026. EUCYS is a competition organised by the European Union that brings together a large number of young researchers. This year's edition was hosted in Kiel and organised jointly by the European Commission and Kiel University.
