Nireas-International Water Research Center, University of Cyprus

The activities of Nireas-IWRC were launched on the 31st of December 2010, while on the 22nd of March 2011 the official inauguration was held to coincide with the celebration of the International Water Day. This effort was made possible after the successful evaluation of a proposal submitted by our research group to the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation for the establishment of research units under the Call "Strategic Infrastructure", the aim being to lay the foundations for substantial growth of research in Cyprus. Our research Center was co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Research Promotion Foundation and the University of Cyprus between 2011 and 2015.
