Short Description of the Organization / Department
The Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health (CII or the Institute) was founded in 2004 on the basis of a trilateral agreement between the Cyprus Government, the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and since 2009, it operates within the CUT system. The Institute now runs autonomously by building on the know-how and experience gained from the >10-year agreement with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, which has recently come to an end.
Since its inception in 2004, the Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health was the first research institute in Cyprus that dealt exclusively with public and environmental health issues. The Institute now demonstrates its >10-year presence in educational and research activities in Cyprus and in the broader Eastern Mediterranean region, such as in Kuwait and Greece by establishing successful postgraduate and doctoral programs, population health studies, and extensive scientific collaboration with the Harvard School of Public Health and other leading public health institutions.
