The University of Cyprus - New Campus

The University of Cyprus was established in 1989 and admitted its first students in 1992. It was founded in response to the growing intellectual needs of the Cypriot people, and is well placed to fulfil the numerous aspirations of the country.

The University is a vigorous community of scholars engaged in the generation and diffusion of knowledge. Despite its brief history, the University of Cyprus has earned the respect of the international academic community and the appreciation of Cypriot society. Admission for the majority of undergraduate students is by entrance examinations organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus, and the competition for places is intense. A number of places are reserved for students with special needs or circumstances. Every effort is made to offer practical solutions to students facing specific problems, be it access to University facilities, or assistance on academic issues.

City of Nicosia

Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is a sophisticated and cosmopolitan city, rich in history and culture that combines its historic past with the amenities of a modern city. The capital presents two distinct faces: the old, original part of the city, surrounded by sturdy Venetian walls over 400 years old, and a busy modern metropolis which has a population of around 200.000 together with the suburbs. The “new” Nicosia developed outside the walls became a contemporary, business and cultural center. Just a few miles away are enchanting places of interest such as Byzantine churches and monasteries, archaeological sites, and charming villages. The uniqueness of such a combination makes the capital of Cyprus a place worth knowing and certainly a place worth visiting!

Accommodation at ECER 2024

Regarding accommodation, ECER 2024 will be a three-city conference: Nicosia, Larnaca and Limassol. As several of the major hotels in Nicosia are currently undergoing renovations, participants are encouraged to look for accommodation not only in Nicosia but also in the neighbouring cities of Larnaca and Limassol which are located at the seaside.

The local organisers will arrange for bookable shuttle buses to run from central locations to the University campus. ECER sessions will begin at 9:30 to allow extra time for transport.

Accommodation booking will be offered by our partners Easyconference and will start February 2024.
