‘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.  …

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.…

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.…

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.

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. …

This operation will initiate the implementation of sustained environmental monitoring in marine waters with the aim to assess the state of Malta’s marine waters on a continuous basis and address current knowledge gaps. It will also contribute to the implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning and the Integrated Maritime Policy through knowledge improvement.

Malta will be benefitting from €8 Million in EEA and Norwegian Grants under the programming period 2014-2021, aimed towards urban development and poverty reduction.  This follows the signing of a programme agreement between Malta’s National Focal Point and the Norwegian Ambassador for Malta in Rome, HE Margit F. Tveiten.  The signing took place on 5 June 2018 at Auberge D’Aragon and was overseen by Parliamentary Secretary for European Funds and Social Dialogue Aaron Farrugia.…

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.

Malta is a semi-arid country located in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea. The scarcity of water has always been an issue since documented history and meeting the demand for both municipal water supply as well as the needs of the agricultural and commercial sectors has always provided an important challenge. However, this challenge has also provided Malta with an opportunity to diversify and further develop its water supply infrastructure. This can be highlighted by the introduction of sea-water desalination technology in the 1980’s, and the continued improvement of the operational…

The project intends to contribute towards the smart, sustainable and inclusive growth of the cross border area making the most of the field-based new generation social enterprise environment such as innovative start-ups. To this end, the project aims at encouraging innovation in key areas such as digital health, food technology and sustainable tourism (experiential and seasonally adjusted), fostering the circular trans-border mobility of qualified young people and enabling the internationalization of innovative SMEs from both sides of cross-border territories. * *…
