BIP Sunrise Summer School Kicks Off at European University Cyprus
European University Cyprus proudly launched the Blended Intensive Program (BIP) – Sunrise Summer School this morning, welcoming international students and faculty for a week-long academic and cultural exchange, running from July 14 to 19, 2025.
The program was officially opened by Professor Andreas Efstathiou, Rector of European University Cyprus, and Professor Loizos Symeou, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, who warmly greeted participants and emphasized the importance of international cooperation and innovation in higher education.
This year’s BIP brings together a dynamic and diverse cohort, including 22 students from SUNRISE partner universities in Italy, Germany, France, and Portugal, as well as a visiting instructor from Portugal. They are joined by 15 participants from China, representing Minjiang University and Nanjing University, all united by a shared interest in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Throughout the week, participants will follow an intensive schedule of interactive lectures, hands-on workshops, and team-based AI project development, with sessions covering topics such as machine learning fundamentals, cybersecurity, intelligent multi-agent systems, and AI applications in the context of GDPR. All academic activities take place in Room 012, led by EUC faculty and invited experts from partner institutions.
Beyond academics, the program offers a vibrant extracurricular experience, featuring sports activities, a guided city tour of Nicosia, and cultural excursions across Cyprus. Designed to foster interdisciplinary learning, cross-cultural exchange, and collaborative innovation, the BIP Sunrise Summer School offers participants an engaging and enriching international experience.
The program will conclude with a graduation and certificate ceremony, celebrating the participants’ achievements and the successful completion of this inspiring international initiative.
