    [02] Mitsopoulos: We cannot afford to ignore our human capital

    In times of economic crisis and rapid technological developments, Cyprus cannot afford to ignore, the potential of its human capital, which will help it achieve a sustainable economic development, said Minister of Communications, Tassos Mitsopoulos, at the workshop "Information and Communication Technologies in the Horizon 2020 program âˆ' Opportunities and Challenges for Cyprus", organized by the University of Cyprus.

    "I believe that in a country like Cyprus, where there is a plethora of young and talented scientists in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), an important resource for economic development lies unexploited", he said.

    Mitsopoulos pointed out that the Horizon 2020 funding Scheme, of over €70 billion, for research and innovation can help exploit this resource and generate new knowledge for the benefit of the society as a whole and for securing Europe's global competitiveness.
