The Center’s mission is twofold: to conduct research of high international caliber, while at the same time serving the research needs of Cypriot society, economy, and industry. Among the Center’s many research, social, and dissemination activities, of particular note are its efforts in the thematic research areas of: (i) Water Quality, Monitoring and Treatment; (ii) Water Supply and Urban Water Management; and (iii) Socioeconomic Analysis of Water-Related Issues. Nireas-IWRC researchers have already secured significant national, EU, and international funding, and their research results have widely been disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, international conferences, technical reports, and technical workshops.[Contrib Sci 10:221-227 (2014)] Author Biography Symeon Christodoulou, Nireas-IWRC School of Engineering University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus Downloads PDF Issue Vol. 10 No. 2 (2014) Section Forum and Focus License This work is subject, unless the contrary is indicated in the text, the photographs or in other illustrations, to an Attribution —Non-Commercial— No Derivative Works 3.0 Creative Commons License, the full text of which can be consulted at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/.
