Maltese: Akkademja ghall-Izvilupp ta’ Ambjent Demokratiku (AZAD)
<br/>
»The Academy was founded with the aim of being an autonomous think-tank and centre of adult education, inspired by Christian Democrat principles. In Malta it took a lead in promoting the ideal of European integration, a dialogue society and the rights of future generations. The Academy and its associates have wide interests but AZAD is currently focused on Euro-Mediterranean issues and maritime affairs.«<ref>http://martenscentre.eu/members/academy-development-democratic-environment</ref>
