Scientific research in Malta completes its annual voyage with the opening of the Science in the House poster exhibition on display at the Parliament building today between 9am and noon.

Topics include building telescopes for solving astrophysical problems, high-frequency radars for protecting Malta’s coastal resources, the first genome sequencing of a Maltese micro-organism and new strategies for treating epilepsy.

Science in the House showcases research conducted at the University of Malta, and elsewhere in Malta, for informal discussion with Members of the Maltese and European Parliaments.

It is organised by the Malta Chamber of Scientists, the University Research Trust and the Science in the City, European Researchers’ Night consortium.

The organisers said networking between researchers, academics, engineers and MPs promotes discussion for revision of science policy for the benefit of Maltese and European citizens.

A commemorative poster is being displayed by the Faculty of Science, which this year is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its foundation.
