Our mission is to promote participation in learning and research activities that address societal problems and support innovative individuals in developing their scientific knowledge and concepts. Our goal is to improve socially beneficial technologies and make a real, positive impact on people’s lives.

MIICT is located in the Mediterranean region. However, our work spans globally as we collaborate with various international partners in our mission.

MIICT is composed of a team of dedicated volunteers and professionals from diverse backgrounds, including ICT, telecoms, engineering sciences, biomedical sciences, agriculture, transport, infrastructure (public utilities), satellite communications, and social sciences. This team of people changes quite often as new projects are initiated and completed projects are closed. Our team is guided by a President and a Board of Directors. These also change from time to time as the President and the Board are appointed on a yearly basis. At the moment, the President is Ms. Rossana Caputo, while Bernard Mallia and Emanuel Mallia act as Chairman and Treasurer respectively.

MIICT selects the projects to work on based on their potential to get funded, their potential to create a positive impact on society, their alignment with our mission and values, and the feasibility of implementing the resulting project outputs.

MIICT’s work has led to significant advancements in various sectors such as education, healthcare, and community development. We’ve been instrumental in bridging the digital divide and promoting social inclusion. You can find detailed impact reports on our website.

Innovation is at the heart of MIICT’s approach. We foster a culture of creativity and experimentation, and we strive to break down barriers to innovation. We aim to create innovative solutions that benefit society today and have a positive, lasting impact on future generations.

Yes, MIICT welcomes volunteers and interns who are passionate about our mission. Before contacting us, please have a very clear idea of the research area that excites you.

MIICT regularly posts job opportunities on its website. However, due to the project-based nature of the work we undertake, all opportunities are project-based and thus of a temporary nature. We encourage anyone interested in our work to check our ‘Careers’ page regularly.

We greatly appreciate any donations and contributions to support our mission. Please visit our website’s ‘Donate’ page for information on how to make a contribution.

We welcome partnerships that align with our mission and objectives. Please get in touch with us through the ‘Contact Us’ section on our website to discuss potential collaborations.

compelling proposals that align with our mission and demonstrate the potential impact of our work. Our team of experts also maintains a strong network with funding bodies and other research institutions to stay informed about the latest funding opportunities.

MIICT contributes to scientific knowledge and innovation through our research and projects. We publish our findings in peer-reviewed journals and present them at conferences. We also work to translate our research into practical solutions that can be implemented in society. Some of the proceedings of our research endeavours are also published on this website.

Communication technology is crucial at MIICT. It enables us to collaborate with our partners, engage with the communities we serve, and disseminate our work to a wider audience. It also plays a key role in many of our projects, particularly those aimed at bridging the digital divide.

MIICT is actively working to bridge the digital divide through a variety of initiatives. These include providing digital literacy training, improving access to digital resources, and working to ensure that technology is accessible and inclusive for all.

Respect for human rights is at the heart of our work. We ensure this by conducting our research and projects in a manner that respects the dignity, autonomy and rights of all individuals. We also have rigorous safeguards in place to protect the privacy and data of those we work with.

MIICT offers a variety of accessibility features, including accessible facilities, assistive technologies, and accommodations for individuals with different types of disabilities. We also work to ensure our digital content is accessible, following the best practices and guidelines for web accessibility.

Yes, the MIICT does from time to time offer free training programs and workshops. These range from technical skills training in selected technology topics to workshops on innovative thinking and problem-solving. For more details on upcoming events, please have a look at our ‘Events’ page.

The MIICT promotes learning and research by providing resources and opportunities for individuals to engage with the latest developments in innovative technology. This includes hosting seminars and conferences, publishing research findings and offering free education and training programs.

MIICT works on a range of projects aimed at addressing societal problems, from increasing digital literacy to improving access to essential services. We also support individuals with innovative ideas through our training programs, research collaborations and funding request backing.

Among other things, the MIICT also undertakes projects specifically aimed at supporting vulnerable groups. This includes initiatives to improve access to technology, health services and education for the elderly, as well as efforts to address basic needs like food, clean water and shelter for those in need through the deployment of technology.

The MIICT has created several innovative solutions to address societal issues. For example, we’ve developed a reusable photocatalysis unit for water decontamination, designed digital literacy programs to bridge the digital divide, designed proof of location algorithms for food provenance traceability, and satellite-imagery based platforms to identify areas undergoing deforestation. You can find more examples of projects we have worked on in the Projects section in our website.

The MIICT works to break down barriers to innovation by fostering an open and collaborative environment, providing resources and support for innovative ideas, and by actively working to remove obstacles such as lack of funding or regulatory constraints. While we have become quite dexterous in breaking down barriers to innovation, it is to be understood that it is impossible to break them all down. Indeed, we have ourselves faced some societal barriers to innovative solutions we have presented, as such solutions were at times ahead of their time.

MIICT promotes the integration of technologies in the Mediterranean region through various initiatives such as tech workshops, collaboration with local tech companies, and the introduction of ICT solutions in various sectors. Our efforts also extend to encouraging the cross-fertilisation of ideas by fostering a collaborative environment where researchers, innovators, and community members can exchange thoughts and insights.

Our goal is to give our contribution to position the Mediterranean region as a global leader in ICT and innovation by promoting research and development, fostering technological advancements and encouraging innovation in all sectors. We believe that by doing so, we can significantly enhance the welfare and quality of life of the region’s inhabitants. Having said this, we are very down to earth and acknowledge that on our own and with our limited resources, what we can achieve is limited. This is why we partner up with other organisations, communities and governments who share our goals with a view to being able to go further in our endeavour.
