Objective
Cyprus is a small country that has only recently started to invest resources in research and technological development. The University of Cyprus (UCY) is leading the effort to upgrade research and technological innovation in Cyprus. The rapidly growing School of Engineering at the University of Cyprus (UCY-Eng) has laid down a strategic plan for the creation of a Centre for Computational Science (UCY-CompSci). UCY-CompSci will provide a research core that will enable and promote multi-disciplinary research aimed at the development of nanotechnology for monitoring and treating environmental pollution.
For this purpose, UCY-Eng has recruited world-class faculty from leading institutions in the United States and Europe and is now positioned to absorb specialized know-how in the area of large-scale parallel computing. The transferred knowledge will enable UCY-Eng to leverage the collective skills of its faculty in order to develop a strong multidisciplinary program in the Computational Sciences that will lead to the development of nanotechnology for environmental applications. UCY-Eng aims at achieving excellence in the computational sciences within the next five years.
This Marie Curie TOK-DEV action will enable the implementation of this strategic plan, will help upgrade the research and teaching profile of UCY-Eng, will integrate more effectively Cyprus in the European Research Area, and will allow UCY-Eng to leverage more effectively its current regional and international collaborations.
