The Cyprus Centre of Environmental Research and Education (CYCERE)

About us

The Cyprus Centre of Environmental Research and Education (CYCERE) is located in the heart of the Akrotiri Peninsula and is the first of its kind independent environmental center of Cyprus. CYCERE aims to contribute in environmental conservation by adopting and promoting strategies in environmental education, environmental research and information.
The programs and activities of CYCERE are addressed to all visitors visiting the peninsula, with particular emphasis on young people-students who are interested on learning about the ecological value of the natural  ecosystems of Cyprus, highlighting the ecosystems of Cape peninsula, the dangers that threat them  and the need to preserve them for the future generations, giving the students the opportunity for a more experiential educational approach.
Cooperation with researchers and young scientists is also encouraged so as to promote environmental research in Cyprus.
In the Cyprus Centre for Environmental Research and Education (CYCERE) we provide environmental programs and activities so as to help people to improve their daily lives. In an era characterized by a competitive relationship between man and nature and in an era where the state of our environment is getting worse and worse, we believe that environmental education and pedagogy, environmental research and the public access to reliable knowledge for the development of environmental consciousness obtain a significant importance.
CYCERE’s mission is to preserve the rich biodiversity of the nature of Cyprus and to prevent environmental degradation, targeting into the harmonious coexistence of man and nature and into the creation of environmentally literate citizens as well as capable and qualified teachers.
