[02] RECTOR - UNIVERSITYCyprus has submitted the largest number of proposals for research to the European Research Institute, in relation to the number of researchers, according to statistics. The majority of proposals came from young academics of the University of Cyprus (UCY).The Rector of the University of Cyprus Stavros Zenios said in an interview with CNA that there are currently more than 300 research projects, with a total budget of 25.9 million Cyprus pound. All these projects are financed by external funds. There are objective indicators on the basis of which the research productivity of a University is assessed, Zenios said, noting that external independent evaluators such as the Carnegie Foundation for Higher Education assessed the University of Cyprus as eligible to be included in the list of research universities since 2003 as the UCY completely satisfied the criteria. Zenios described the research productivity of the University of Cyprus as notable, adding that this demonstrates a rising trend. The average research production per year, in terms of the number of publications per member of academic staff during the period 2002-2004, was 3.53 compared to 3.11 during the period 1999-2001, indicating that the production will be even higher during the next reporting period.
