A significant milestone for Xjenza Malta today as we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Italy's Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (OGS). The agreement aims to strengthen collaboration in research, innovation, and scientific capacity building across the Mediterranean region.

The MoU was signed by Xjenza Malta CEO, Mr Silvio Scerri and OGS President, Prof. Nicola Casagli, marking the beginning of an enhanced partnership that will foster scientific excellence and knowledge exchange between our institutions.

Presiding over the signing were the Hon. Clifton Grima, Minister for Justice, Research and Innovation and H.E. Valentina Setta, Ambassador of Italy to Malta. 

Following the signing ceremony, AMARE-MED 2026 Summer School was launched, an Advanced School on Multispecies Modelling Approaches for Ecosystem-Based Marine Resource Management in the Mediterranean Sea, which is being hosted for the first time ever, in Malta for its 2026 edition.
