The University of Cyprus and Oxygen for Democracy (Oxygono) renewed their Memorandum of Cooperation on Monday, April 8, 2024. On behalf of the University of Cyprus, the Memorandum was signed by the Rector, Professor Tassos Christofidis, and on behalf of Oxygono, the President of the Board, Mrs. Georgia Athanassiou , a graduate of the Law Department of the University of Cyprus.
The purpose of the Memorandum, which was signed for the first time in 2016, is to improve the policy-making process in Cyprus and more broadly, with the active participation of the academic community in it.
The most important activity foreseen by the Memorandum is the co-organisation of the Cyprus Forum, the largest policy-making conference in Cyprus, which will take place this year on October 3 and 4, 2024 in Nicosia.
Among other things, the Memorandum provides for joint participation in research programs financed by the Research and Innovation Foundation, the European Union and other research funding bodies. The cooperation and co-organisation of the Cyprus Forum with the University of Cyprus, the leading academic institution in Cyprus, is a great honor for Oxygen for Democracy as it will lead, among other things, to the improvement of the content of the conference.
