RIDT - University of Malta Research Trust

The University of Malta Research Innovation and Development Trust (RIDT) aims to strengthen investment in research at the University of Malta.

RIDT raises awareness on research projects and their needs while reaching out into the local community. Our Vision

'To date, the University of Malta has managed to build a healthy environment for personal research, and this despite the fact that it has had to cope with a growing number of students following a growing number of degree programmes. Ultimately, the main measure of success in this re

gard is the number, but more importantly the quality, of peer-reviewed publications authored by our academics. In order to valorise the academic effort spent on research, the University is in the process of introducing an inventory of publications which will be updated continuously. In this way, the University will be in a position to appraise the productivity of each academic not only through the academic effort spent on teaching, but, also through the research output manifest in publications. Of course, in a 3rd Generation University, an academic's direct contribution to industry, civil society, and to the economy and community at large should also be valorised and acknowledged. In view of the historical and current context the University of Malta must rapidly build a corporate research portfolio in tandem with the outreach mechanisms to contribute directly to sustainable socio-economic development. It is clear that going forward, the University must be allowed to accrue assets. The setting up of the University of Malta Trust Fund for Research, Development and Innovation and the updating of legislation to allow tax incentives for donors is a crucial step forward.'
