For the 1st Cyprus Oxbridge Debating Society (CODS) events, the Oxford and Cambridge Cypriot Alumni associations have joined forces to bring to you a promising debate between Polys Polyviou (Lawyer) & Demetrios Hadjihambis (Former President of the Supreme Court).

The British High Commissioner, Stephen Lillie will make the opening remarks and the event is supported by the British High Commission in Nicosia and the Royal Commonwealth Society for Cyprus.
Please join us at the UNESCO Amphitheatre of UNIC at 7pm 25th of September!
On the same day we shall also have an event for our freshers at 6pm at the same location. For more information check here.
Cyprus: Short-term & long-term economic issues
The economic development of Cyprus is reviewed through a personal prism shaped by experiences as an IMF economist for a period covering many years. The early short-term success is contrasted with the situation during and immediately following the impact of the 2008 global economic crisis. Although Cyprus has been recovering strongly, several problems linger possibly hindering a future sustainable development path. Several “big” ideas are collected and adapted to the Cypriot economic reality which might have the potential to help. The pros and cons are discussed setting the stage for further technical analysis and societal decisions.
The event is co-organised by the Harvard Club of Cyprus, the Oxford University of Cyprus, and the MBA Program of the University of Cyprus.
