University-level institutions are highly encouraged to apply for the creation of Jean Monnet Modules, Chairs, Centres of Excellence, Conference and Seminar activities etc.

Research Matters is a Campusfm programme produced and presented by Patricia Camilleri.

In this series, Patricia Camilleri will be talking to academics on campus who are involved in research projects, many of which are EU funded. She will be asking these researchers to explain their work and its short and long term effects within their field of study and on society in general.
