Descripción del proyecto
Impulso de la excelencia en investigación sobre movilidad eléctrica en Malta
Las soluciones híbridas y eléctricas son fundamentales para la movilidad terrestre y marítima en el archipiélago maltés. En el marco del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos NEEMO, el Colegio Maltés de Arte, Ciencia y Tecnología (MCAST) colaborará con dos instituciones líderes,el CEA de Francia y el AIT de Austria, y otro miembro de la comunidad urbana, ANEL Chipre, para investigar diversos atributos y retos asociados con la movilidad eléctrica, como la gestión de ubicaciones y electricidad, especialmente en el entorno geográfico maltés. Un equipo de talentosos investigadores tendrá la oportunidad de participar en una serie de eventos que incluirá reuniones, conferencias, cursos, talleres y programas de intercambio. El proyecto reforzará el perfil energético del MCAST, lo que a su vez refleja el desarrollo positivo de la economía del conocimiento de Malta, incluida su ambición de convertirse en un núcleo energético regional, un país solar, un estado de inteligencia artificial y un centro de conexión marítima.
Objetivo
NEEMO aims steadily set in the Electric Mobility research, related integration of technologies, modes and operations within the MCAST Energy research Theme in Transportation from terrestrial to marine mobility and from heavy-duty vehicles to micro-mobility solutions. The issue of mobility and energy is more pregnant in geographic islands due to strong energy dependence on fossil fuel. Therefore, a Network for Excellence is created with two world-leading research institutions AIT (Austria) and CEA (France) and like Malta as a widening country with distinctive island, characteristics included Cyprus through the Nicosia Development Agency (ANEL) for social policy aspects and exchange of wider experiences.
The activities are mainly knowledge transfer and networking through a series of workshops, winter/summer schools, training programmes, internships, exchanges, meetings, mentoring, conferences and joint publications as well as research outputs, mostly targeted to early stage or aspiring researchers.
MCAST Energy is experiencing a self-funding growth within its breadth of energy research theme that leads on campus. In addition, the MCAST main campus infrastructure together with laboratories will be the first ‘living laboratories’ on the island, used for real-life applications while delivery training and research as well.
This TWINNING proposal will provide a stimulus of required knowledge to become more efficient and competitive to an international level of excellence. NEEMO is designed for all partners to benefit in a way that goes sustainably beyond the three-year funding period. This eventually will result in enhanced skills sets and profile of MCAST Energy which in turn reflect the positive development of Malta knowledge economy including its ambition as a regional energy hub, solar country, AI state and maritime hub.
