The Award was presented to UESA’s President Ian Buhagiar by the Minister for Competitiveness & Communications Hon Censu Galea and the President of the Chamber of Engineers Inġ Helga Pizzuto during a ceremony held at the Aviation Museum on Friday the 7th of December.

The MEEA provide recognition to individuals or organisations that have achieved outstanding engineering accomplishments that have had a significant impact on Maltese society.
