This exciting undertaking will last for the next 3 years and we are thrilled that we will have an opportunity to improve the research landscape of Cyprus in interdisciplinary field of Management and Economics of Research and Innovation. Our project extends its scope further than producing excellent research to carry out a capacity building process with two leaders in the fields Maastricht University and the University of Carlos III of Madrid to render Cyprus a key player in the EMMENA region and the SInnoPSis research unit a true centre of excellence in the field in the forthcoming years. Also, a key role of the project is to enable the advancement of the Research Management in Cyprus by engaging the academic and research actors of Cyprus into a self-reflection and improvement process in key skills and capacities such as research grant writing, research project management, open science, research assessment, innovation management and other relevant areas of interest and importance.
