SUMMARY:LLM Lecture Series: How Large Language Models Work
DESCRIPTION:LLM Lecture Series: How Large Language Models Work\nThe LLM Lecture Series: How Large Language Models Work is an advanced training programme organised by the Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA) and DiHubMT\, in collaboration with the University of Malta Faculty of ICT and the IEEE Malta Section. The series is designed to provide participants with a deeper technical understanding of the technologies underpinning modern AI systems such as ChatGPT\, Claude\, Gemini and other Large Language Models (LLMs). \nDelivered over six sessions\, the programme explores the foundations of artificial intelligence\, machine learning and natural language processing before progressing into the architecture and training of Transformer-based models. Participants gain insight into concepts such as neural networks\, embeddings\, attention mechanisms\, tokenisation\, model training\, fine-tuning\, emergent properties and the practical challenges associated with modern generative AI systems. \nThe lecture series is aimed at ICT professionals\, engineers\, software developers\, researchers\, students and technically curious professionals seeking to understand not only how to use AI tools\, but how they work internally. The programme combines theoretical foundations with practical explanations\, including detailed breakdowns of Transformer architectures and the mechanisms that enable modern language models to generate human-like responses. \nThrough the collaboration between MDIA\, DiHubMT\, the University of Malta Faculty of ICT and the IEEE Malta Section\, the initiative supports Malta’s growing AI ecosystem by promoting digital skills development\, technical excellence and informed discussion around the opportunities and challenges presented by artificial intelligence. \nOrganisers and Partners \n\nMalta Digital Innovation Authority\nDiHubMT\nUniversity of Malta Faculty of ICT\nIEEE Malta Section\n\nTheme: Understanding the architecture\, training and computational mechanisms behind Large Language Models and Generative AI.

SUMMARY:Science in the City 2026
DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Malta Section actively participates in Science in the City\, Malta’s national Science and Arts Festival and part of the European Researchers’ Night initiative. The festival transforms Valletta into a vibrant hub of science\, technology\, innovation\, creativity and public engagement\, attracting thousands of visitors each year. \nThrough its participation\, IEEE Malta helps bring engineering\, computing and emerging technologies closer to the public by showcasing how technology shapes everyday life and contributes to solving real-world challenges. The Section engages with students\, families\, educators\, researchers and industry professionals through interactive exhibits\, demonstrations\, talks and hands-on activities designed to inspire curiosity and promote STEM careers. \nScience in the City aims to make science accessible\, engaging and relevant to society by combining research\, technology\, culture and the arts. IEEE Malta’s involvement aligns closely with IEEE’s mission of “Advancing Technology for Humanity”\, providing opportunities to demonstrate how engineering and computing innovations contribute to economic growth\, sustainability and societal wellbeing. \nParticipation in Science in the City also enables IEEE Malta volunteers and members to: \n\nPromote engineering and computing careers to young people.\nInspire the next generation of innovators\, researchers and technology leaders.\nDemonstrate practical applications of emerging technologies.\nIncrease public awareness of the role of engineering and computing in society.\nStrengthen collaboration between academia\, industry\, government and the wider community.\nShowcase the work of IEEE members and local technology initiatives.\n\nAs one of Malta’s most significant science outreach events\, Science in the City provides an important platform for IEEE Malta to engage with the community\, encourage lifelong learning and foster greater interest in science\, technology\, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Through these activities\, IEEE Malta contributes to building a stronger culture of innovation\, creativity and technological excellence across the Maltese Islands.
