Malta Conferences

The Malta Conferences have catalyzed regional collaboration on environmental issues through the establishment of a Middle East Air and Water Quality Forum, with lUPAC support. 

As a result of the Malta Conferences, many concrete examples of cooperation among the various nations in the region have already taken place to address the recommendations of the different workshops [12]... 

Several collaborations began as a result of the Malta Conferences between two groups of scientists in Israel Arabs who work in Arabic colleges, and Jewish scientists in Israeli universities. Scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science are collaborating on environmental issues with scientists from the Arab Academic College for Education. 

As a result of the Malta Conferences, the National Science Foundation made a grant of 134,000 to Nobel Laureate Professor Roald Hoffmann to hold workshops for Middle Eastern graduate students and young chemists under 35. Two workshops were held in Jordan, and the third was held in Egypt. 

Scientists and governments alike have recognized the uniqueness and effectiveness of this conference. The National Science Foundation recognized the Malta Conferences as one of the ten best examples of thinking outside the box. United States Senator... 

Richard Durbin made a speech on the Malta Conferences from the floor of the US Senate, in which he labeled the conferences as truly historic [10].

In order to assist the Mediterannean coastal states in their obligations under the Emergency Protocoi, in 1976 the same Conference decided to create the Regional Oil Combating Centre (ROCC), which was established in December 1976 in Malta. The IMO is directly responsible for the technical and administrative management of the Centre. Previously, its financial resources were provided by UNEP s Environment Fund but, as with other components of the Mediterranean Action Plan, since 1979 funding has been provided by the Mediterranean Trust Fund.
