Malta’s largest science and arts festival, which returns to Valletta this week, has always championed inclusivity. Last year, the theme of Science in the City focused on justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (J.E.D.I). To change this, the festival presents science and research in ways that encourage human interaction, creativity and relevance to every citizen.
