HPH NOW, July 21, 2006, Environment and Public Health Needs of Cyprus and Eastern Mediterranean Region Focus of Inaugural Meeting of Executive Council

In 2004, the Government of the Republic of Cyprus announced its intention to establish a research, education, and training effort for the environment and public health in association with HSPH. The inaugural meeting of the Executive Council of this initiative took place in Cambridge on Friday, June 23.

The Initiative comprises two research and training entities: The Cyprus International Institute (CII) for the Environment and Public Health located in Nicosia, Cyprus, and the HSPH-Cyprus Program (HCP) located in Boston. These two entities work collaboratively to educate a new generation of researchers focused on the specific environmental and public health needs of the Eastern Mediterranean region.
