EGM is thrilled to announce the successful book donation event at St. Francis School Msida! Grades 4, 5, and 6 students were presented with the captivating book ‘Karamellu tar-Rahal t’Isfel’ authored by the talented Maltese writer, Charles Buttigieg.
At EGM, we firmly believe in nurturing the Maltese language and culture. We understand the significance of providing students with high-quality literature to foster their education and personal growth. Through a stimulating Q&A session facilitated by Charles Buttigieg, students had the opportunity to delve into the realm of writing and literature, gaining invaluable insights from the esteemed author himself.
Our aspiration is that this book donation and interaction with the author will ignite a passion for reading and writing within each student. As a company, EGM takes great pride in supporting the intellectual development of young minds in Malta. We remain committed to investing in the community by actively engaging in initiatives that promote education and celebrate our cultural heritage.
EGM has financed the installation of a brand-new lift at Inspire complex in Marsascala. This “access for all” elevator now enables students and staff to seamlessly move from the ground floor to the first floor, ensuring that everyone can enjoy equal access to the academic and therapeutic rooms located on that level. This significant improvement enhances the inclusivity and convenience of the entire facility. EGM is proud to have resolved this critical issue for the Foundation which continues to prioritize accessibility for all.

The Department of Biology at the University of Malta offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in a range of biological disciplines, including marine biology, ecology, genetics, and biotechnology. The department also conducts research in various areas, such as biodiversity conservation, environmental sustainability, and biomedical sciences.
The use of multispectral drones permits analysis of light that is outside the visible spectrum and can therefore open new avenues in research about marine photosynthesis, species composition of benthic assemblages etc. The use of such a drone need not be restricted to the marine environment, as it would also be very useful in land use mapping in a terrestrial environment, as it could be used in the remote detection of concealed water sources and vegetation temperature profiles.
This drone will enable the Department of Biology to venture in research areas that are currently unavailable, and that could be applied to more effective description and conservation of marine and terrestrial systems.
