A few words about CERIDES – Excellence in Innovation and Technology at European University Cyprus.

CERIDES – Excellence in Innovation and Technology was established with a European University Cyprus Senate Decision in 2017.  The Center emerged from the synergies identified between the Center for Risk, Safety and the Environment (CERISE), and the Decision Support and Systems Optimization (DSSO) Laboratory and operates under the auspices of European University Cyprus. It is the first cross-disciplinary, cross-school Center of Excellence of European University Cyprus.

Our focus revolves around the development, use, and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative methods to measure, assess, manage, and communicate risk, and to analyze, design, and implement decision-making mechanisms and systems. Our areas of focus revolve around two basic pillars; risk and decision science with an application to several horizontal areas such as Security, Safety, Telecommunications, Critical Infrastructure Protection, and Industrial Processes.
