Institution
The Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) is the coordinating institution of the CoReflect project. It is a new, state-supported university founded in 2004. The University aspires to become a modern and pioneering university capable of offering high level training and research in popular fields, which today offer great economic, technical, and scientific output.
More specifically, through Faculties and Departments that are today absent from Cyprus, the Cyprus University of Technology aspires to offer the country the greatest possible autonomy in the training of executives capable of serving the economy, technology, industry and also the society and culture, so that Cyprus can become a leader in the Middle East Region and the European Union. Furthermore, with an applied research orientation, the Cyprus University of Technology aims in providing important aid to the local society to help it cope with problems that it faces in all the fields of science, technology and knowledge while contributing to the international research community.
CUT currently has five faculties (Geotechnical Sciences and Environmental Management, Economics and Management, Applied Arts and Communications, Engineering and Technology, and Health Sciences) with plans to expand its faculties to ten in the next few years. There are currently eight departments in these Faculties. The Department of Communication and Internet Studies, in the Faculty of Applied Arts and Communications, aims in the education of high level scientists and the promotion of research and relative applications in the scientific fields of Communications, Mass Media and the Internet. The focus of the degree and of the scientific research is the internet’s effect on the economy, politics, education, culture and society.
