Partnership aims to advance agricultural research in Cyprus

The Cyprus Agricultural Payments Organisation (Capo) this week announced that it has established a strategic partnership with the Eratosthenes Centre of Excellence (ECoE), which operates within the Cyprus University of Technology (Tepak).

According to the announcement, this key agreement was formally signed by Andreas Kyprianou, Capo Commissioner, and Diofantos G. Hadjimitsis, Managing Director of the ECoE.

In their statement, the two parties explained that “this marks a collaborative effort” with the European Centre of Excellence at the Cyprus University of Technology.

Moreover, the agreement outlines a framework for collaboration across the spectrum of both organisations’ activities.

Both Kyprianou and Hadjimitsis expressed optimism about the potential benefits of this partnership, for their respective institutions and for the wider agricultural sector in Cyprus.

Furthermore, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) provides a detailed account of the terms for cooperation and the mutual exchange of expertise and experience in areas of mutual interest.

It should be noted that this includes elements related to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), as well as the implementation of joint initiatives and actions aligned with their respective competencies.
