CYENS is the place to be for those who aim to work in the areas of Interactive media, Smart systems and emerging technologies. While activities at CYENS span across various research disciplines, we are united by our mission and a common sense of purpose: we operate under the moto “Inspired by Humans Designed for Humans” and the mission to produce world class research that drives innovation towards social and economic benefit while conducting excellent, internationally competitive scientific research in the areas of visual sciences, human factors and design, communication, and artificial intelligence.

To that end, we proudly invest in our employees by exposing them to new experiences and supporting their growth so they can transform the world by producing innovative, cutting-edge solutions. We cultivate a culture of innovation and creativity in an inspiring and continuous learning environment filled with academics, researchers, creative and forward-looking people, innovators, entrepreneurs and practitioners.
 

We create relationships

At CYENS we foster a diverse and inclusive culture where every employee feels welcomed and has a true sense of belonging. We appreciate and value all unique perspectives, because it is our collective experiences that make the best ideas successful. We want our people to feel valued and creative, that is why we keep a relationship-oriented mindset and encourage collaborations across our multidisciplinary research groups.
 
In addition, as part of our continuous efforts to create a thriving community of diverse professionals, we are a EURAXESS Service Centre member encouraging and supporting researcher mobility in Europe and beyond.

  
In this environment we strive for what we set out to achieve: our VISION is to support the socio-economic transformation and development of Cyprus though scientific excellence, multi-disciplinary collaboration, entrepreneurship and industrial engagement.
