The EEWRC is intended as an important research resource for the Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa, and as a gateway between the EU and the region for addressing energy, environment and water issues on the basis of science and technology. The EEWRC is the first research center of the Cyprus Institute (CyI, www.cyi.ac.cy), a novel non-profit research and educational institution. The CyI strives to achieve the highest standards of excellence with an emphasis on international partnerships with world-class universities and research organizations. The EEWRC has been established in close collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
