It is with great pleasure that I am here with you tonight to welcome you to this special evening of the awarding of the doctoral degrees of the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT). I would like to thank your very good friend and worthy Rector of your University, Mr. Panayiotis Zafiris, for this honourable invitation.
Dear friend Rector,
Although I know how humble you are, let me express my admiration for your zeal, love and inspiration for this University, an incredible will that translates into action.
The Cyprus University of Technology is a key axis of knowledge and research for the country, but also an important ambassador of Cyprus abroad. This is also proven by its presence as a member of the European University of Technology (-EUt+).
It is an academic institution that is a model in its technological applications and in the way it operates at the administrative and educational level, and while technology is the protagonist, it remains human-centred and "green". It is an academic institution of which, as citizens and as a state, we should be proud. A treasure university for our Cyprus.
I would not like to make a long story short so as to leave you to enjoy this special evening. But I take this opportunity to congratulate both you and all those who are part of the Cyprus University of Technology, for the successful and upward course it has been on from the beginning of its foundation until today, and for the quality it has managed to offer on many levels.
My warmest congratulations are therefore due to you, and please know that I rank the Cyprus University of Technology as one of the most important allies of the state and the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, considering its valuable contribution to the successful digital transition of the state.
I firmly believe, dear Rector, that the Cyprus University of Technology, together with its academic staff and students, has the potential to offer much and valuable to the state and society, contributing to the development of research and know-how in relevant issues. Our cooperation is a given.
Dear students,
We are here tonight to award you this coveted diploma. I am sure that to have reached this point today, you have worked hard and with perseverance to achieve this demanding goal.
You are now at the highest level of knowledge and education. I hope that your academic goals have been achieved and that your doctoral degree will open up your horizons even further.
Congratulations, then, to all the doctoral graduates, congratulations to the Rectorate and the members of the Rector's Council, and to all the academic and administrative staff.
We also deserve to say a big congratulations to all those who supported this great effort, to your family, your children, your friends and all your people whom you have made very proud tonight.
In closing, I would like to wish you from the bottom of my heart health, peace of mind and progress in your lives. I wish you a wonderful summer.
Thank you very much.
