The first Cyprus Forum is being held on 3 October 2020, at the Municipal Theatre of Nicosia, between 09:00 and 16:00. The Cyprus Forum is a new, independent and ambitious annual conference, aiming to become a lever and a catalyst for change through discussions and debate leading to commitments, actions and, ultimately, outcomes that will improve and promote sustainable and socially responsible policy in Cyprus and the wider Eastern Mediterranean region.
UNIC is supporting the inaugural conference from the outset and will be well represented in the Forum’s proceedings through:
- Antonis Polemitis, Chief Executive Officer, University of Nicosia, who is a speaker on the panel on “Higher Education as a Booster of Shared Prosperity”.
- Professor Stavros Malas, Foundation Chair for Veterinary School, University of Nicosia Medical School, who is a speaker on the panel on “Healthcare and the Future of Public Hospitals”.
- Anna Koukkides-Procopiou, Senior Fellow, Cyprus Center of European and International Affairs, who will be Chairing the panel on “Foreign Policy as a Game Changer in the Eastern Mediterranean: The Role of Cyprus”.
The Cyprus Forum will bring together political leaders, prominent figures from the public and private sectors, the media, the academic community, and civic society, to discuss, exchange ideas and find new and creative solutions to key public policy issues.
Citizens, regardless of socio-economic background, organisations and businesses, officials and politicians who wish to see change and who favour the promotion of reforms in our country, are all welcome to attend the forum (though pre-registration is required).
The vision of the Cyprus Forum is to focus on current policy areas every year, which are linked to society as a whole and need reform based on scientific and creative thinking. The issues that will occupy the forum, as defined by the pillars of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, are:
- economy, entrepreneurship and corporate responsibility
- foreign policy, energy and environment
- justice and institutions
- research, innovation and infrastructure
- education and culture
- health and sports
Simultaneous interpretation in both English and Greek will be available.
