Cyprus University of Technology

The Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) (Greek: Τεχνολογικό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου or "ΤΕ.ΠΑ.Κ.", is a university established in 2004. Its first intake of students took place in the academic year 2007–08.[1] The establishment of CUT is an attempt to fill in gaps that still exist within Cyprus' higher education by offering degrees in undergraduate and post graduate levels that are not offered by the University of Cyprus or by other higher education institutions.

International relations

The Cyprus University of Technology is one of the eight holders of the European University of Technology, EUt+[7], with the Riga Technical University (Latvia), Technical University of Sofia (Bulgaria), the Hochschule Darmstadt, University of Applied Sciences (Germany), the Technological University Dublin (Ireland), the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (Spain), the University of Technology of Troyes (France), the Technological University Dublin (Ireland) and the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (Romania).

The European University of Technology, EUt+ is the result of the alliance of eight European partners who share in common the "Think Human First" vision towards a human-centred approach to technology and the ambition to establish a new type of institution on a confederal basis.

Through EUt+, the partners are committed to creating a sustainable future for students and learners in European countries, for the staff of each of the institutions and for the territories and regions where each campus is anchored.

gollark: They tend to use crazily outdated OpenGL stuff, invented NBT instead of using an actual standard like, say, CBOR, and massively inefficient programming (it allocates hundreds of megabytes of RAM a second apparently).
gollark: Minecraft is just so bizarrely designed from a technical perspective.
gollark: Except disk space, where it's mostly outclassed by newer, even worse-designed games.
gollark: And CPU. And everything else.
