We are very happy to announce, that our University has received the “Recognized for Excellence in Europe, 5 Stars” award from the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), adding one more milestone to its journey towards performance excellence. This award ratifies the University’s commitment for constant improvement and its engagement to business excellence, continuous growth and extroversion.
The University of Nicosia is the first and only University in Cyprus and Greece to reach this recognition level (Recognized for Excellence, 5 Stars), which is one of the most prestigious awards for organisational excellence and is given to Europe’s best performing companies. In order to receive this award the University underwent a rigorous in-depth assessment of its performance against the criteria of the EFQM Excellence Model, by a team of independent assessors from theHellenic Management Association (the sole organization licensed by the EFQM to operate in Greece and Cyprus). The EFQM Excellence Model is a highly respected and widely used organizational framework throughout Europe, as it allows to understand the cause and effect relationships between what the organization does and the results it achieves.
Appreciation is extended to all colleagues who participated in the process and contributed in any way to the successful outcome of this undertaking.
