Cyprus launches public consultation on 2028-2034 research and innovation funding portfolio
The Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) in Cyprus has opened a public consultation to gather input on the country’s proposed research and innovation funding portfolio for 2028 to 2034. Stakeholders, including researchers, businesses, organisations, and citizens, are invited to submit their views by November 2, 2026. The consultation aims to shape investments in research, technological development, and innovation that will boost Cyprus’ economic and social benefits.
The proposed funding framework covers the entire research and innovation value chain, from talent development and research excellence to knowledge transfer and commercial exploitation. It also focuses on enhancing innovative entrepreneurship, private investment, and international competitiveness. RIF emphasises that feedback should consider the overall structure of the portfolio rather than individual funding programmes, which will undergo separate consultations later.
This consultation is pivotal in refining the framework to support Cyprus’ research ecosystem effectively. The outcomes will determine the financial resources and specific interventions needed to help the nation transition into a knowledge-driven, high-value-added economy through 2034. RIF encourages active participation to ensure the funding portfolio aligns with the broader needs of the innovation community.
