Dr Sultana joined the university in September 2020. After spending three years with the Research Support Services Directorate, she assumed the role of managing the ERA-Shuttle project. This project is funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe's Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area programme.

In her current role, Dr Sultana's primary responsibilities include managing secondments for researchers and administrative staff based at the University of Malta. She is also a strong advocate for the adoption of a secondment policy at the university.
Beyond general project management, Dr Sultana is organising the annual summer schools facilitated by the ERA-Shuttle project. Notably, the University of Malta will host the 2026 edition of the ERA-Shuttle Summer School.

In collaboration with the UM Doctoral School, Dr Sultana delivers essential training to doctoral researchers. Her workshop, "Writing Winning Grant Applications", is offered to UM doctoral researchers and staff twice a year, during the first and second semesters of each academic year.
