20 YEARS SINCE ACCESSION
How we have changed,
how has the European Union changed?
Universitas Foundation and OPEK Association for Social Reform are organising a conference focusing on the evaluation of Cyprus’ participation in the EU, 20 years after accession. The conference is open to citizens interested in reflecting on Cyprus’ further course in the EU as a truly active and multi-thematic member state that draws on its experiences and maximises its potential, overcoming problems and opening new perspectives for its people.
The conference will take place on Wednesday, 29 May 2024, at 18.45 – 20.30 at the Strovolos Cultural Centre, 34 Archbishop Kyprianou Kyprianou Street, Strovolos 2063.
