Roberta Metsola, a Maltese politician and lawyer, was first elected to the European Parliament in 2013. Since January 2022, she has served as the President of this institution, being the first person from Malta to hold this position.
Rector Prof. Krzysztof Jóźwik, who met with President Metsola in early December during a visit to Brussels, emphasizes her deep conviction that effective cooperation among academic circles is crucial for the development of the European Union. Roberta Metsola points out that going beyond individual disciplines in science contributes to building bridges between Europe and the rest of the world, adds the Rector.
