A meeting was held today between the Minister of Interior Mr. Nikos Nouris and a delegation of the University to support the efforts of the University of TE.PA.K. to create modern infrastructure for its development and evolution, as well as to meet its housing needs.
In his remarks, the Minister said that during the meeting with the Rector and the Council of the University of TE.PA.K., the problems that so far, he said, have not been overcome in order to achieve the implementation and issuance of the required permits were discussed.
He said timelines and the methodology to be followed were set. "All issues have been discussed. I think it is now a matter of getting the agencies to coordinate better," he said.
"There is a willingness and desire on both sides to implement this extremely important project. In the coming months I am optimistic that one by one the projects will be pushed forward and any problems that had arisen will be solved," the Interior Minister concluded.
The President of the Council of TE.PA.K. Dr. Christos Chomatas in his statements thanked the Minister for the very constructive meeting. "Indeed, all the issues of all the Poles of the University of Limassol were discussed and I believe that we are on the way to find the necessary solutions in order for the University to proceed with its development for the benefit of the place and the city of Limassol," he said.
He continued by saying that reference was made to the issue of the zoning of the former settlement "Berengaria" located in the municipality of Kato Polemidia. He expressed the belief that the construction of student residences and research centres such as the ERATOSTHENES Centre of Excellence (EXCELSIOR H2020) of the TE.PA.K., "will give another dimension to the University and the city of Limassol."
Rector Prof. Panagiotis Zafiris said that the building development of the University of Limassol was discussed.
He added that the most important issue was the development of the "Berengaria" settlement for housing our students, he said, "and the development of the research centres we have launched".
