SINO-MALTA Science and Technology Cooperation

In the Agreement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation signed between Malta and the People’s Republic of China in 2002, the Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST) and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of the People’s Republic of China were nominated as the implementing agencies for cooperation within research sectors.

2. Facilitate the transfer of technology;

3. Maintain a comprehensive, steady, and long-term cooperation through the support of researchers’ mobility, and the networking of industries, universities and research institutions to generate mutually beneficial win-win research.
