University of Malta

During our stay, we collaborated closely with the University of Malta, engaging in a wide range of activities encompassing scientific research, education, and public outreach. We worked alongside local researchers to support various scientific projects, sharing expertise and fostering collaborative efforts.

Our team delivered lectures on advanced technologies, which were complemented by hands-on sessions and live demonstrations. In addition, we organized multiple tours of the Advanced Mobile Laboratory, with a special focus on engaging school groups. These tours featured interactive activities and educational games designed to make our work accessible and engaging to younger audiences.

A highlight of our outreach efforts was the honor of hosting distinguished guests, including the President of Malta, H.E. Myriam Spiteri Debono; the Minister of Education, Hon. Clifton Grima; and the Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Research and Innovation, Hon. Keith Azzopardi Tanti.
