October 12–16, 2025 | Cairo, Egypt

The Cyprus Institute (CyI) maintained a prominent presence at the 8th Cairo Water Week, a premier regional forum dedicated to water and climate resilience. Representing the Secretariat of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East Climate Change Initiative (EMME-CCI), the CyI delegation played a key role in bridging the gap between scientific research and regional policy.

Key Highlights:

  • Technical Session Leadership: On October 13, CyI co-organized a session titled “The EMME-CCI: Plans and Actions during the Cyprus Presidency of the EU.” Moderated by Prof. Fadi Comair, the session explored cross-border water and energy projects and the strategic role Cyprus will play during its 2026 EU Council Presidency.
  • High-Level Diplomacy: The delegation met with Egypt’s Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation to strengthen bilateral collaboration on water management and climate adaptation strategies.
  • Regional Collaboration: Following the relaunch of the EMME-CCI by President Nikos Christodoulides, CyI actively engaged with international organizations and academic leaders to foster a Regional Scientific Alliance to combat the urgent climate challenges facing the EMME region.
