Rodrick Zerafa has been announced as the new CEO of SEM – Servizzi Ewropej f’Malta.

‘Mr Zerafa is a European Studies and Communications graduate from the University of Malta. During the past years he held various roles within the Government of Malta, notably, as the Spokesperson for the Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade in recent years.’

The establishment of Servizzi Ewropej f’Malta (SEM) was formalized as per the Public Administration Act (Cap. 595) through Legal Notice 445 of 2020 (S.L. 595.23).

The agency’s functions align with its mission: to serve as a conduit for EU funds in Malta and Gozo, simplifying access for citizens and organizations to leverage the advantages of EU membership through these funds.

SEM operates the Europe Direct Valletta EU-information center, backed by the European Commission, engaging citizens on EU-related matters locally and regionally. Its goal is to provide EU citizens with information about the EU, direct them to specialized services, and connect them with other networks.

Additionally, SEM promotes EU careers in Malta and assists those interested in pursuing opportunities with EU institutions, agencies, and bodies.

Committed to informing individuals and organizations about the latest EU funding opportunities and the benefits they bring to Maltese society, SEM aids in submitting competitive project applications and supports successful applicants in project implementation.

The vision of SEM is to actively promote awareness of EU fund benefits to a broad audience and streamline access to these funds for targeted groups.
