Meeting Description: 

Co-organised by the University of Reading (UK) and Near East University
(Cyprus), this interdisciplinary event will bring together scholars from
Linguistics, Education, Politics, Architecture, Psychology and Media who will
present their recent research on conflict and peace in Cyprus. The event is
funded by the British Academy and it is open to academics, students,
practitioners, professionals and the general public.

The objectives are:
- To share with wider audiences empirical research on Greek-Cypriot and
Turkish-Cypriot intercommunal relations.
- To raise awareness about various social, educational, linguistic,
psychological and political issues that are faced by the people who live in
the two communities.
- To offer a supportive forum where issues in relation to the conflict in
Cyprus can be openly discussed.
- To encourage people from the two communities to come together, get to know
each other and interact in positive and constructive ways.
- To come up with creative initiatives that can help build trust and promote
peace in Cyprus.

All presentations and discussions will be conducted in English.

Participation is free and it includes coffee breaks with snacks during the
day, and wine reception with finger food after the talks. Lunch can be
purchased at the Home for Cooperation Café.

The event will be hybrid, enabling participants to either attend physically at
the Home for Cooperation in Cyprus or online via Google Meet. More information
about how to attend online will be provided after you register.

Registration: For both online and on-site attendance, registration via
Evenbrite is required. Please use the conference/meeting URL to register. 

Please note that limited spaces are available for physical participation at
the Home for Cooperation,  we therefore kindly ask you to register by 20th May
2022.

We are looking forward to seeing you!
