3 UM projects shortlisted for the Sustainable Development Action Awards

At least three projects led by University of Malta (UM) researchers have been shortlisted for this year’s Sustainable Development Action Awards.

The annual awards recognise, promote, celebrate and reward individuals, organisations, businesses, academic teams and public institutions that are driving sustainable development and innovation.

Organised by Malta’s Ministry for Energy, the Environment and the Regeneration of the Grand Harbour, the awards form part of the Ministry’s efforts to accelerate sustainable development in Malta.

The awards feature eight categories, one of which is the Research & Innovation Award. All three nominees shortlisted in this category are projects led by UM researchers.

These are the three projects:

• VENTO – Active Vacuum Venting System for Non-Sealed Moulding
• Dawl AI Lab – Department of AI – AI for Litter Detection and Assisted Retrieval in Malta
• UrbanClimate – Institute of Earth Systems, Faculty for the Built Environment

As voting has just closed for all eight categories, winners will be announced in the near future.
