'SIntegraM - Developing Spatial Data Integration for the Maltese Islands', a project conceptualised and driven by Professor Saviour Formosa, develops and implements a national spatial data infrastructure and enhances the capacity of geo-spatial/GIS technology expertise for Malta and its impact on social wellbeing.

SIntegraM project constitutes the creation of a strategic approach to spatial data, creation of critical base datasets, as well as enabling a legislative and mentality shift in terms of exchange and access to data. This project ensures that the underlying aerial, terrestrial and bathymetric infrastructure and knowledge gain is made available to all government entities in order to deliver the relevant analytical framework as per national, EU and other international obligations and requirements.

The infrastructure and range of systems, equipment; analytical and dissemination tools will also be geared to enable inter-governmental data dissemination, knowledge gain and an integrated approach towards information foresight.

Prof. Saviour Formosa, an academic at the University of Malta, has conceptualised and is the driver of this project and the Planning Authority is project leader. All Ministries and public sector/public services are partners.
