Descrizione del progetto
Incoraggiare l’eccellenza della ricerca sulla mobilità elettrica a Malta
Le soluzioni ibride e quelle basate sulla mobilità elettrica per il trasporto terrestre e marittimo sono indispensabili per le isole maltesi. Nell’ambito del progetto NEEMO, finanziato dall’UE, il Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) collaborerà con due importanti istituti, ossia CEA France e AIT Austria, nonché un altro membro della comunità urbana, ANEL Cyprus, per indagare le varie caratteristiche e difficoltà associate all’e-mobility, come ad esempio l’energia e la gestione delle sedi, tenendo conto della conformazione geografica maltese. Numerosi ricercatori di talento avranno la possibilità di partecipare a una serie di eventi, compresi riunioni, conferenze, corsi, workshop e programmi di scambio. Il progetto migliorerà il profilo energetico del MCAST, risultato che a sua volta si rifletterà sullo sviluppo positivo dell’economia della conoscenza di Malta, inclusa l’ambizione di quest’ultima di diventare il polo energetico e marittimo della regione, nonché un Paese basato su energia solare e IA.
Obiettivo
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.
