- the arrangement of strategic and targeted visits by local academics/researchers and representatives of private entities to foreign entities in order to participate in research & innovation activities of an exploratory and developmental nature
- the organisation of seminars or workshops on a particular research and innovation area in Malta that would benefit from the participation of foreign experts
- the development of transnational research & innovation proposals for submission to third party-funders, e.g. H2020, etc.
