Afterwards, Prof. Adrian Grima, Head of the Department of Maltese, will present the publication of the Proceedings of Lingua Politik 4 and focus on the main contributions to the conference, as well as the academic and political value of this project which focused on the role of the national language in a multilingual country. 

Dr Marie-Louise Mangion, Head of the Department of Policy, Politics and Governance, will discuss the process of formulating a national language policy and the need for this process to be conducted in a structured, inclusive and evidence-based manner, so that Malta can effectively address today's linguistic realities.
