PRIMA Training and Mobility Award 2023 successful projects


L-Erbgħa, July 12, 2023

Thanks to the PRIMA Training and Mobility Award (PTMA), the Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST) supports Malta-based eligible entities in establishing fruitful networks that could lead to future collaborations and successful submission of R&I proposals.

The Award 2023 recently concluded led to the successful granting of two promising projects. The project Pathogens and the Apis mellifera ruttneri Microbiome, will allow the Institute of Earth System within the University of Malta to conduct comprehensive work isolating and characterising the honeybees’ gut microbiota strains and their functionality in collaboration with the University of Bologna. Another project titled Multiparametric Geophysics to study Groundwater in the Mediterranean region, will allow early research carriers and staff from the Department of Geosciences within UM to gain theoretical and practical experience in the field of geophysics applied to hydrology in collaboration with the Universitat de Barcelona. Both projects will receive up to EUR 6,000 to perform the activities envisaged and will better enable the applicants to submit collaborative proposals to prospective PRIMA-related Calls.
