The first Cypriot Vice President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and representatives from the EIB visited the University of Cyprus on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, to present the EIB Summer School program. The ten-day program offers postgraduate students the opportunity to attend in Luxembourg to gain a better understanding of the EIB’s work and to acquire experience in their respective fields of study. It is noteworthy that this marks the first occasion where new students from Cyprus and the University of Cyprus have been afforded the opportunity to participate in the program.

At this event, Mr. Kyriakos Kakouris, Vice President of the EIB, addressed the audience, along with Ms. Marianna Philippou, Advisor to the Vice President of the EIB, and Ms. Ana Stanescu, Coordinator of the EIB Summer School at the EIB Institute.

Following the speeches, the EIB representatives fielded various questions from students and attendees. The ensuing discussion, moderated by Associate Professor Andreas Tryphonides from the Department of Economics at the University of Cyprus, primarily focused on aspects of the ten-day program “EIB Summer School 2024,” including application deadlines, program duration, and eligibility criteria for participation.
