The Center is rapidly becoming an important research resource for the Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa. The EEWRC addresses science, technology, economic and policy issues related to major challenges in the fields of energy, environment, climate and water. The EEWRC is being developed in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation (RPF).
