All lectures are delivered on Wednesdays, at the University of Cyprus Central (Old) Campus (75, Kallipoleos Av.), in Wing E, Room E010 (ground floor), at 7.30 pm, and last approx. 90 minutes, including the discussion.


COVID-19 management - ensuring the safety of both speakers and audience during the pandemic

The change in venue of the Colloquium meetings during the current semester, moved now to Room E010, was decided in order to ensure the safety and protection of all participants through the strict implementation of the physical and social distancing measures adopted by the University of Cyprus for the management of COVID-19 (with the implementation of said measures, Room E010 can host up to 56 persons). All those interested in attending the meetings are also notified that, according to the health protocols in place at UCy, the use of the face-mask is obligatory in all university enclosed spaces.
