The ReNature course aims to provide participants with an understanding of ecosystem services and green infrastructure, give an overview of the leading green infrastructure elements in urban areas in the Maltese islands, and to identify methods that may be used for an assessment of the ecosystem services provided by green infrastructure, the press statement says.

This will be the first such training course the MCAST organises. The course will be delivered by speakers from the ReNature consortium, and its research community.

The Horizon 2020 project ReNature (Promoting research excellence in nature-based solutions for innovation, economic growth and human well-being in Malta) aims to develop the capacity of MCAST and the national stakeholder community to become front runners in research and innovation for nature-based solutions that tackle environmental challenges faced by modern societies, the press statement says.

The Princeton Review — known for its education services and school rankings in dozens of categories — released its 10th annual ranking lists, which name the top 50 undergraduate and top 25 graduate schools.

The University of Malta in Msida was named the 17th best such institution, being listed among the top 25 graduate schools.

The Princeton Review chose the schools based on data it collected in its 2018 survey of administrators at 150 institutions that offer game design courses, majors, or degree programs. Surveyed schools were in the U.S., Canada and abroad. The survey requested information in four areas: academics, faculty, technology, and career prospects. It covered everything from the schools’ courses and facilities to their graduates’ starting salaries and professional achievements. In all, more than 40 data points were analysed to tally the rankings.

“The schools that made our lists this year have stellar programs for aspiring game designers and developers,” said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review’s Editor-in-Chief. “Their faculties are outstanding, and their facilities are awesome. Just as impressive: their alumni include many of the video game industry’s most prominent artists, designers, developers, and entrepreneurs,”

The Princeton Review’s full lists are available at the official website of the publication.
