NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION (NCFHE)

The National Commission for Further and Higher Education (NCFHE) intends to develop a National Qualification Database in line with the requirements set out in the EQF Recommendation. This national qualification database will provide the general public, education institutions and other stakeholders at national and international level with transparent and up to date information on licensed educational institutions and accredited courses in Malta. It shall also be linked with the Learning Opportunities and Qualifications in Europe (LOQ) website. NCFHE may also decide to link the National Qualifications Database with the ESCO portal, particularly the qualifications pillar.

To this end, the NCFHE invites proposals to provide support to the NCFHE in identifying business needs, defining policies and solutions, and for identifying requirements for the technical implementation of the National Qualifications Database.

Proposals are to be received by Friday, 12th April, 2019, via email to (admin.ncfhe@gov.mt). Requests for the technical specifications or requests for clarifications can be made through (admin.ncfhe@gov.mt).

Results of the Malta Book Fund 2018-19

The National Book Council is glad to announce that the adjudication board of the Malta Book Fund 2018-19 has decided and agreed on the winning submissions for this edition of the Fund. The winning projects have been chosen according to a set of pre-determined criteria, chief among which are the cultural value of the proposed publication, and the financing needs due to the specialised and non-commercial nature of the project. In other words, the Fund aims to support culturally significant projects that require funding if they are to be realised. Due to the high number of quality submissions in this edition of the Malta Book Fund, the judges also took into consideration each project value and, after an analysis of the budget attached to the submitted application, they allocated partial funds in a way that would allow the publication of each fully- or partly-funded project.

The adjudication board consisted of three judges – Mr Mario Ellul, Mr Andrei Vella Laurenti and Mr Charles Calleja. The judges’ report with a list of winners, recommendations for those who failed to get funding, and a set of comments by the judges will be sent to all applicants. It is important to note that failure to qualify does not bar the applicant from applying again during the next call for applications with the same project or a different one. 

Following the selection process and the publication of the results, the NBC will be contacting the winning applicants for the signing of contracts, transfer of funds, and setting of time-frames and deadlines.

The following are the winning entries, all of which are for publication grants.
