What is a degree worth when AI can automate so much of what graduates are trained to do? In the latest 3CL Conversation Series, the panel makes the case for interdisciplinary education that pairs deep domain mastery with the humanities, and asks how universities can form engaged citizens and capable workers at once in the age of AI.
Britain’s under-16 social media ban is one of the toughest yet. But will it work? We compare the UK’s approach with Australia’s experience and explore what may matter most.
Friction in multigenerational teams is rarely about age. It is about unexamined norms and organisational conditions. A joint study by the 3CL Foundation and the National Skills Council tests the standard story against what workers themselves report, across eight focus groups and sixty-four participants in Malta.
Disinformation is not a problem of false content alone. It is a structural feature of information systems that reward outrage over accuracy and erode the institutions capable of verification. A recap of the 3CL Foundation’s April 2026 conference, organised with the European Parliament Liaison Office in Malta, the University of Malta, and MCAST.
The global debate on children and social media has reached Malta. But the question is broader than whether to ban or restrict. It is how to help parents, young people, and older generations retain agency in an online environment designed to undermine exactly that.
This post argues that generational conflict over work is not a clash of values but a rational response to a labour market that has structurally withdrawn the guarantees on which long-term loyalty was once built. Both the material conditions and the experiential texture of work have changed in ways that produce genuinely different, but equally coherent, expectations from older and younger cohorts. Rather than treating this as a problem to be managed, this article calls on organisations to examine both sides of the employment bargain.
Modern teams have more communication channels than ever. They also, by many accounts, have more miscommunication. Communication is the most visible fault line in the workplace, and the one most likely to be misdiagnosed. The impact of increasingly disruptive technologies on a workforce that incorporates more generations than ever before has made this fault line all the more clear.
The 3CL Foundation welcomes the Government’s green paper on social media reform. Regulatory interventions such as age-based restrictions can only achieve their intended protective effects if accompanied by broad societal adoption and a comprehensive digital literacy strategy spanning all generations.
Drawing from a recent 3CL podcast with Noah Giansiracusa, associate professor of mathematics and author, this blog post focuses on how digital platforms operate according to legible mathematical principles, and that understanding these principles constitutes a necessary foundation for democratic participation in technologically mediated societies.
