Cyprus University of Technology is a public research University in Cyprus. CUT’s strategic targets include the design and development of research activities both within the University and in cooperation with other research institutes in Cyprus and abroad. The research emphasis of CUT is reflected in the substantial funding provided to academics for the establishment of research centres and laboratories. CUT aims at producing and transferring new knowledge through basic and applied research in all the academic fields of the University’s five Faculties. Strengthening of the research management support and infrastructure, with the aim of securing externally funded projects, is another major objective of CUT.
