The University of Nicosia (UNIC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cranfield University, UK earlier this year. The MoU was signed by Professor Philippos Pouyioutas, Rector, University of Nicosia, and Professor Simon Pollard, Pro-Vice-Chancellor International, Cranfield University. The two parties agreed to collaborate in promoting and furthering the understanding of Engineering and Technology through short courses, undergraduate courses, postgraduate courses, and research. As a first step, the two parties will be co-organising two short courses within the year.
Prof Simon Pollard stated: “We are very pleased with this collaboration. There is no doubt that this new partnership will open up new horizons for both parties”. On behalf of UNIC, Prof Pouyioutas stated: “The University of Nicosia is very keen to utilize this opportunity to further strengthen its ties with Cranfield University. We see this partnership as a great opportunity for collaboration in education, training, research and innovation”.
