Our Perspective

Sustainability at the University of Kyrenia is a shared endeavour. We are part of a broader ecosystem - local, regional and global - where education, research and community action come together to create meaningful change.

  • Holistic thinking - We consider environmental, social and economic dimensions together.
  • Local strength, global vision - With Cyprus as our home, the sea as our laboratory and the world as our horizon, we connect local expertise to international collaboration.
  • Interdisciplinary action - Solutions emerge when disciplines work together; every faculty has a role and a route to contribute.
  • Inclusive responsibility - Programmes such as the 60+ Refreshment University and the Continuing Education Center (GUSEM) show that sustainability is about people as much as the planet.
  • Lifelong learning - Education does not stop at graduation. Through GUSEM we support all ages and workplaces with practical, short-term training that keeps skills current and communities resilient.
  • Evidence first - We share what we do through Events and map activity to the SDGs so progress is clear and verifiable.
