Activities
The Institute of Earth Systems (IES) was established in May 2010, effectively merging the former International Environment Institute (IEI) and the Institute of Agriculture (IoA) into a single entity.
The Institute is made up of two divisions, the Division of Environmental Management and Planning and the Division of Rural Sciences and Food Systems. Professor Godfrey Baldacchino is Chairman of the Institute of Earth Systems, whilst Professor Louis F. Cassar is Director of the Institute and Coordinator of the Division of Environmental Management and Planning, and Professor Everaldo Attard is Coordinator of the Division of Rural Sciences and Food Systems. The Institute also includes within it the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Insular Coastal Dynamics (ICoD), headed by Professor Anton Micallef, as well as the Mediterranean Operational Centre for CEDARE (Centre for Environment and Development for the Arab Region and Europe).
