‘CESBA MED Sustainable MED Cities’: Energy efficiency improvement is a key strategy to reduce the environmental impact of public buildings. But usually energy efficiency plans do not fully exploit the potential for synergies that groups of buildings might offer. CESBA MED intends to test 10 different methodologies, tools and indicators developed by previous EU projects and select the most affordable and operational solutions. The UoM will select areas that house a group of public buildings for testing energy efficiency, also with the help of existing data on such buildings.  …

The objective of the LIFE-IP RBMP-MALTA project is to support the implementation of the second River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) through the establishment of an integrated framework for the optimised management of all water resources on the Maltese islands. To achieve this, it will seek to address the key horizontal challenges identified in the second RBMP. The challenges will be addressed through the combined implementation of best practices, demonstration sites, pilot studies, and capacity building actions. The project is financed through the LIFE Programme and has the following…

EnerNETMob aims to draft, test and improve parallel “Sustainable Electromobility Plans” according to common standards and low carbon policies, in order to establish an “Interregional Electromobility Network” across a number of cities of the transnational MED area. To this end, the project shall promote land-sea intermodality using electric transport systems, whilst implementing inter-urban and interregional pilot networks of Electric Vehicles Supply Equipment (EVSE) also co-powered by Renewable Energy Sources.…

ZEROCO2 focuses on the energy performances of buildings; in this regard, it intends to design innovative policies promoting near zero CO2 emission buildings. This project shall also combine different technologies and energy efficiency sources, contributing towards the EU energy efficiency targets. …

In Mediterranean countries, domestic water use accounts for a minor part of water consumption, however, it requires the best quality and its demand is continuously growing. Moreover, urban water is still the main cause of pollution of rivers and groundwater, even when treated before being discharged. The project NAWAMED aims at changing the urban water management practice by mean of innovative, sustainable, and low-cost treatment technologies, applicable in a decentralised pattern, to replace the use of potable water with good quality NCW (non-conventional water) resources.…

PROMETEUS will enable Transport Malta to learn from the experiences of the other partners involved in the project, as well as share its own experiences to continue introducing and integrating the concept of Electromobility into the Maltese Islands.

The aim of Destination SMEs is to assist European territories in designing effective destination management strategies in order to provide tourist SMEs with a favourable environment for growth and improve their competitiveness.  …

Migration trends, coupled with challenges that migrants face on their journey and upon arrival, have resulted in relatively high numbers of migrants unable or unwilling to stay in Malta.

RESTART VI is a continuation of five Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) projects successfully implemented by IOM Malta in cooperation with the Maltese authorities since 2009.

European Union fisheries management relies on data collected, managed and supplied by Member States under the Data Collection Framework. Reliable fisheries data are needed to assess the health of fish stocks and the marine environment and to meet the European Union’s objective of ensuring sustainable fisheries by 2020 at the latest.
