The aim of Reach High II is to provide PhD graduates with the opportunity to propose research projects with Higher Education Institutions within a varied set of prioritized fields. Selected research projects will be provided with a Post Doctoral Research Grant. The Research Grants are intended to help build research clusters of excellence in areas that complement the National Research and Innovation Strategy.

The Reach High II Post Doctoral Research Programme will continue contributing towards the attainment of Malta’s national targets in increasing the number of participants pursuing and succeeding in Post-Doc Research. Higher education is essential for society as it helps to foster innovation, increases economic development and growth, and improves the wellbeing of citizens.  

The Reach High II Post Doctoral Program which aims to address the above objectives is co-funded by the European Union.
