European Researchers' Night 2024: Showcasing Innovation and Student Excellence

On Friday, September 27th, the European Researchers' Night 2024 took place at the State Exhibition, marking the 18th year this exciting event has been organised in Cyprus by the Research and Innovation Foundation (IdEK). 

The event attracted the interest of both young and old, drawing hundreds of researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators from universities, research organizations, centers of excellence, and forward-thinking companies across the country.

As part of the event, students were invited to present a topic of their choice related to the European Missions—the focal theme of the 2024 competition. This year, the event was held under the European Project "MISSION POSSIBLE: RESEARCHERS ON BOARD FOR AN INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE."

We are proud to recognise our four outstanding students, Elena Tian, Stella Ioannou, Olympia Xenofondos, and Georgios Giannopoulos, who took part in the "Science Unfold" competition. Each student was tasked with presenting a scientific invention that connects research and innovation to address pressing global challenges. With only 3 minutes and a maximum of 3 PowerPoint slides, they showcased their innovative ideas in fields such as healthcare system improvements in Cyprus, new cancer-fighting medicine, and cutting-edge technology.

Their impressive presentations highlighted their creativity, research skills, and passion for contributing to a better, more sustainable future. We commend them for their efforts and look forward to their continued success!
