The University of Malta Research Innovation and Development Trust (‘RIDT’) was established by the Government of Malta in 2011 as an integral component of Malta’s established policy to bolster investment in research and development on a national level.

It is intended to attract funds from private and corporate bodies to be used to maximise and exploit the research milieu at the University of Malta.

It is envisaged that by encouraging high-calibre research through the fund, the University of Malta will foster the commercial exploitation of research and facilitate its industrial use.
