As an EU country in a unique geographical position, Cyprus offers excellent opportunities for research and innovation in solar technologies. And the country’s positioning means that any energy produced can also be used in nearby eastern Mediterranean countries and the Middle East. However, Cyprus’ remote location presents a barrier to innovation in the country.
The EU-funded NESTER project aims to overcome this obstacle by twinning the Cyprus Institute (CyI) with internationally-renowned research institutions in other EU countries.
