A further positive aspect, which highlights the intensity of the relations of scientific and university cooperation between Italy and Malta, is represented by the growing number of Maltese and Italian professors who carry out study visits at the universities of both Countries. This year around twenty scholars have had the possibility to benefit from the funding for the exchange of lecturers in fields such as chemical, pharmacological and geological sciences, experimental biomedicine, structural engineering, education as well as psychology.\u00a0 Through these contacts in research areas of common interest, collaboration between the universities of both Countries are being intensified.
The ability of Italian universities to attract foreign lecturers, researchers and students not only in fields where Italian experience and know how have long been recognized but also in areas of innovation and high technology, bears witness to the potential of the Italian University and research system with positive repercussions also for the internationalization of the economy.
On this theme, please note that on the 14th of October 2013 the Italian Cultural Institute, in collaboration with the Embassy and the Malta Chamber of Scientists, will be organizing a seminar\u00a0 entitled \u201dInnovazione, ricerca e sviluppo: l\u2019Italia dei saperi a Malta\u201d.
