Video interviews of people talking about their careers, talents, and social life are being featured on The Zone at www.timesofmalta.com/thezone. Tomorrow a new interview with Mario Cachia from the University’s Research and Innovation Development Trust (RIDT) will be uploaded.

Although one of the trust’s main aims is to raise funds for University research, its long-term goal is to entice students to develop a greater sense of belonging when they enrol in University. Cachia says the aim is for students to feel that by helping fund or promote a cause or a research project undertaken by the RIDT or external research organisations, they start to view their academic experience not as a three- or a five-year course but as a lifelong commitment.

Watch the interview and learn more about RIDT and Cachia’s role at the trust.
