CERIDES

Description

EXCELLENCE IN INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY

The Center has emerged from the synergies that have been identified between the Center for Risk, Safety and the Environment (CERISE), and the Decision Support and Systems Optimization (DSSO) Laboratory and operates under the auspices of European University Cyprus. It is the first cross-disciplinary, cross-school Center of Excellence of European University Cyprus.

Our focus revolves around the development, use, and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative methods to measure, assess, manage, and communicate risk, and to analyze, design, and implement decision-making mechanisms and systems. Our areas of focus revolve around two basic pillars; risk and decision science with an application to several horizontal areas such as Security, Safety, Cybersecurity, Telecommunications, Critical Infrastructure Protection, and Industrial Processes.
