Cyprus Research Award – Distinguished Researcher
The Cyprus Research Awards were established by the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) in 2007 to recognise and reward research excellence. The “Distinguished Researcher” Award is granted to excellent scientists with extensive research experience, who conduct research in Cyprus and demonstrate significant and internationally recognised research results. The Award aims to promote the work and personality of such distinguished scientists, who honour Cyprus through their high-quality research and its impact.
