Cyprus College’s purpose has been to provide a well-rounded education of high caliber in which students could acquire the necessary academic and practical knowledge to meet academic and career requirements.
The mission of the Research Centre is to support the research community of Cyprus College. More specifically, the objectives of the RC are as follows:
• To support the efforts of the College by assisting faculty and other researchers (research centres, institutes, research units/groups within departments, etc) in obtaining external funding and by serving as an additional link between Cyprus College and public and private funding sources.
• To provide information and advice on the costing of research grants and on the procedures for awards from the major grant awarding bodies, such as the Research Promotion Foundation, EU programs and sponsors, and public or private entities in Cyprus.
The Research Centre of Cyprus College is widely known in Cyprus and abroad due to its significant success in conducting innovative research. During the last five years, it has developed an intense action in a wide spectrum of socio-economic and humanistic subjects.
The College is also the national coordinator of the European Social Survey (ESS), another project included in the ESFRI report. The RC has recently won a grant from the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation for the establishment of the Social Research and Humanities Research Observatory, which is the first of its kind in Cyprus.
Cyprus College has developed long-term collaborations with Mediterranean, non-EU institutions, in order to strengthen and enhance the research community within the region.
