First MAEC-AECID Lectureship in Ireland Established at MLAL (AHSS)

The School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics at the University of Limerick is pleased to welcome Cilano Silva to the Spanish Section as part of the MAEC-AECID Lectureship (Lectorados) Programme (Spain). This programme places Spanish language and culture assistants at universities worldwide. His appointment marks a significant milestone as the first MAEC-AECID lectureship to be established in Ireland and within the Irish higher education sector. The lectureship was made possible through the joint efforts of Dr Mariano Paz, Head of the School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics, in collaboration with Mr Cristian Font Calderón, DHM and Cultural and Scientific Counsellor at the Embassy of Spain in Dublin (Ireland). Their efforts have created a valuable new partnership that strengthens links between the School and this prestigious programme. We are delighted to welcome Cilano Silva and look forward to his contribution to the Spanish Section and the wider School community
