After the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between MCST and the Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA), several avenues for collaboration were identified, including a dedicated thematic programme for the digital domain. The Digital Technologies Programme aims to support capacity-building efforts related to:
•Artificial Intelligence
•Digital Trust
•Knowledge and Data Representation and Analysis
•Technology for Sustainability and ESG
•Quantum Computing and Other Emerging Technologies
It aims to move towards a safer and more trustworthy development, adoption, and use of digital technologies. The Digital Technologies Programme is intended to fund projects which are either early stage or applied research, hence targeting research between TRL 1 and TRL 7.
Programme Parameters
Applications or queries should be forwarded electronically to ri.mcst@gov.mt, keeping abigail.aquilina@gov.mt in copy.
If state aid is applicable, applicants are to apply under the de minimis regulation or the GBER. Applicants will also benefit from this collaboration between MCST and MDIA, as they will get to hold an onboarding meeting with MDIA, and together determine whether an application can be submitted for the Technology Assurance Sandbox (TAS) or the Technology Assessment Recognition Framework (TARF), both schemes hosted by MDIA. The following figure summarises the different Priority Areas and Subareas for Research in Digital Technologies related to this Programme:
