The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, visited the Institute for Engineering and Transport and the Institute for Applied Sciences at MCAST, where she witnessed the fruit bore from EU Funds.

While being shown around the new laboratories and lecture halls by MCAST Principal and CEO Dr Joachim James Calleja, President Metsola reiterated the commitment of the European Parliament to continue striving for funds to be allocated to similar projects. She added that the European Union will continue investing in research and innovation.

Over its 22 years as Malta’s leading vocational education and training institution, MCAST has benefited from millions of euros in EU Funds to develop its campus and services provided to students. Some of the most significant investments co-financed by EU Funds were in the MCAST Resources Centre, inaugurated in February 2022, and the two new laboratories at the Institute of Engineering and Transport.

MCAST offers more than 200 Full-Time Courses and more than 400 Part-Time Courses, with more than 10,000 students attending the institution.
