Participation in European Programmes

The participation of the Directorate of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth in European programmes is a strategic objective and a valuable means for fostering development, continuous improvement, and alignment with the European acquis. Through initiatives such as Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Plan, and key projects of the European Commission like Eurograduate and Eurostudent, Cyprus enhances its international standing, leverages European funding, and promotes cultural, educational, and research activities. Additionally, Cyprus’ involvement in European consortia and its integration into university alliances, such as the European University Alliances initiative, contributes to greater competitiveness, increased mobility for students and academics, and the broader internationalization and outward orientation of the country’s Higher Education Institutions.
