Projects in Motion Ltd. (PiM) is a multidisciplinary research organisation and cluster platform based in Malta.
Here at PiM we undertake EU-funded development projects and conduct research for European and local government bodies, major companies and SMEs via a cluster approach. PiM strives to participate or manage collaborative projects that cover innovative issues related to information communication technologies (ICT), sustainable energy and social issues, mostly through transnational cooperation directed towards capacity building for R&D and policy.
One of our strengths remains the management of EU project exploitation and dissemination efforts. Visit our Projects section for latest updates.
Focus on Research and Development
We recognise that developing a commercially viable new service or product takes more than just a good idea. It involves innovative industrial design, engineering, manufacturing and expert input from a number of other professional fields. PiM blends traditional and innovative methodologies to identify breakthrough opportunities, develop growth strategies and consumer-inspired new products. We literally align our organizational strategy and design in a way that supports sustainable innovation. Bringing our knowledge and experience to bear in important key technologies we assist our partners in translating their ideas into action and help them make their projects and dreams a success.
Focus on Sustainable Energy
PIM's aims in the renewable energy sector are to increase knowledge on sustainable development/energy solutions, and to help develop awareness through local initiatives for an intelligent use and reduction of energy requirements .
Projects in Motion has also established a start-up called Renewable Habitats (www.renewablehabitats.com) which is focused on using 'Concentrated Solar Power' technology in novel applications like desalination and solar cooling; and the application of heat pumps using sea water as a heat source.
Focus on dissemination and structured dialogue
We also conduct research and continuous monitoring of social and cultural trends in Malta that combine robust qualitative and quantitative methods with innovative analysis and thinking, and undertake dissemination actions and structured dialogue on a wide range of social topics.
We also focus on other issues and topics simply because we find them important and interesting; and because we can. We do this mostly via the uptake of European funding opportunities across various community programmes when possible.
Sharing knowledge effectively is the key to our success!
