Artist Kenneth Zammit Tabona has created an unusual set of 12 paintings and their limited edition prints, depicting 12 heritage sites and landmarks saved through restoration by Din l-Art Helwa. The set also features character portraits of historic personalities connected with each site, and each painting records the date of restoration by DLH.

Each print is accompanied by its own individual historical narrative and anecdote written by Simone Mizzi for Din l-Art Helwa, produced on adhesive for use after framing. The limited edition sets are presented in a gift folder, with each folder containing 6 prints.

The Winners of the eighth edition of the Malta Engineering Excellence Awards (MEEA) were announced on Friday December 4th at a reception hosted by the Chamber of Engineers. The awards were presented by H.E. Robbert Gabrielse, ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, John Scerri, deputy chairman of Malta Enterprise and Inġ. Helga Pizzuto, President of the Chamber of Engineers. The MEEAs provide national recognition to individuals and organisations who have achieved outstanding engineering accomplishments.

This year’s award for Innovation was awarded to the IUBS programme team consisting of the Enemalta Corporation, the Water Services Corporation and IBM. The IUBS project’s brief and investment demanded exceptional inter-sectoral competencies, efficiency and technical expertise.

A second award for Innovation was awarded to Playmobil Ltd. (Malta) for embracing a philosophy of Innovation. This is the third time that Playmobil participated in the MEEAs  in the past 4 years. Each year the Playmobil submission has featured an innovation to their current manufacturing process, an approach that has ensured that the Malta facility remains competitive in the face of stiff competition overseas.

The Chamber of Engineers is proud to announce that nominations for the ninth edition of the  Malta Engineering Excellence Awards are now being received. The MEEAs 2009 have also been included in the European Commission’s official programme for the European Year for Creativity and Innovation.

These awards are our opportunity to recognise engineering excellence in the areas of innovation and leadership and to recognise those who throughout their career have contributed significantly to the development of engineering in Malta.

This is the ninth year these prestigious awards will be presented and we are pleased to note that over these past years the number of nominations received has been on the increase.  We are confident that the awards have served to encourage individuals and organisations to strive for excellence and to make the attainment of one of these awards their goal.  This augurs well for the profession and we look forward to a good number of nominations also this year. 

This year’s awards will be presented during the Chamber’s Annual Reception and as with previous years this ceremony will serve to showcase the capabilities of the engineering community. 

We invite all our members to participate in the process by nominating individuals and/or organisations that deserve recognition for the accomplishments they have achieved in the field of engineering.

Kindly note that the closing date for submission of nominations is the 23rd October, 2009
