The Malta Sociological Association has been
established as an independent, non-profit and non-commercial voluntary
organization (VO/1322).
The
Association promotes sociological research and contributes toward facilitating
the cooperation of people working within the sociological field. It also aims
at understanding and analysing social problems for the improvement of the
quality of life.
As a scientific, independent organisation, MSA has no
religious, political or any other kind of affiliation. The Association may
decide to affiliate with international sociological associations.
Its functions
are:
- to encourage the exchange of social research findings by developing a network of individuals working within the field of sociology;
- to organise meetings, seminars and workshop sessions with the intention of facilitating the participation of members in the analysis of social research;
- to publish a regular newsletter, at least twice annually, e-mailed to all members to keep them informed of ongoing and planned activities;
- to promote the study of social research and the dissemination of the results; and
- to act as a source of sociological outreach within the Maltese society.
