WELCOME TO MCST!

The Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST), acting for and on behalf of
the Foundation for Science and Technology, is a public body established by the
central government  in 1988 with the mandate of advising government on science
and technology policy.




RAISING THE PROFILE OF RESEARCH AND INNOVATION (R&I) ACROSS THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

MCST champions R&I engagement across public, academic and private sectors and
provides support measures across the research eco-system to help your ideas
become a reality. MCST also creates a basis for science education,
popularisation and communication for young students, for the eventual upskilling
of the sector and capacity building.

R&I PROGRAMMES

R&I PROGRAMMES

MCST manages national funds for R&I through the development and operation of
programmes, which in turn, create vehicles for research across the public,
academic and private sectors. A portfolio of funding programmes provides
researchers with the opportunity to translate their ideas into tangible projects
and eventual products or services.

Horizon Europe with a budget of around €95.5 billion for 2021-2027, will boost
our recovery and make the EU more resilient for the future. Horizon Europe will
be implemented also through the European Defence Fund and complemented by the
Euratom Research and Training Programme.

INTERNATIONALISATION

INTERNATIONALISATION

MCST acts as a national contact point organisation for several international
collaboration initiatives such as PRIMA, JPI programmes and Horizon Europe
Partnerships, such that the local community builds capacity of international
repute. MCST also engages with contacts across the globe to open new
opportunities for cooperation. Examples of this are the relationships with the
People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and
the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) to
strengthen the scientific collaboration with the respective countries. In
addition, MCST participates in several internationalisation platforms, including
the 5+5 Dialogue, the Union for the Mediterranean, and the ERA Forum Standing
Subgroup on the Global Approach, amongst others. MCST also engages with the
international R&I community by participating in European Funded projects.

POLICY, STRATEGY AND INTELLIGENCE

MCST advises Government on R&I policy matters, both in terms of national and
international matters, particularly in EU affairs. At the national level,
MCST drives the national R&I Strategy, whilst liaising with various stakeholders
(public, private, academic and civil society). Since 2012, MCST has also been
responsible for the development of the national innovation strategy for smart
specialisation, which is a conditionality for accessing ERDF funding. MCST also
monitors the R&I Strategy through a dedicated monitoring mechanism.  MCST is
also responsible for guiding and advising on EU R&I policy affairs in both the
European Council and Parliament. MCST ensures that national interests are
safeguarded in the relevant EU-level discussions.
