The University of Cyprus and Artemis Intelligence signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a framework connecting academic research with industry technology needs.
According to a press release, the agreement aims to promote technological innovation through joint research initiatives in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, intelligent systems and data analytics. The partnership includes student internships and educational events.
Professor Tasos Christofides, Rector of the University of Cyprus, said the partnership reinforces the university’s strategy to build stronger connections with business and innovation sectors, contributing to economic progress.
Michael Glaros, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Artemis Intelligence and former Principal Program Manager at Microsoft, praised the university’s students, calling the institution “a hidden gem within the EU.”
“In my 10+ years of professional experience at Microsoft working across global markets, I rarely encountered such a talented and well-prepared group of students,” Glaros said.
He noted that while the university’s Master’s programmes in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are relatively new, the quality of graduates could strengthen Cyprus’s innovation ecosystem by developing skilled talent.
Artemis Intelligence specialises in AI design and deployment, with a team of international technology professionals focused on creating bespoke AI solutions for organisations.
