Updates Cypriot Antiquities in Foreign Museums and the Andreas Pittas Registry Project The Cyprus Institute is carrying out a project for the digital documentation and promotion of Cypriot antiquities in foreign museums in collaboration with the Department of Antiquities and the support of Dr. Andreas Pittas. Led by Professor Vassos Karageorghis, the project concerns the creation of a digital database that will register all Collections of Cypriot antiquities in foreign museums and make them available to scholars and interested members of the general public. The Andreas Pittas Registry project is the first step of a broader collaborative effort that will pursue and foster collaborations with as many museums of the world as possible, and is expected to help students of Cypriot archaeology to gain a first acquaintance with the ancient art of Cyprus. The project was presented during a public lecture with the title Cypriot Antiquities in Foreign Museums and the Andreas Pittas Registry Project. Front view of 3D model of the serpentine feline head figurine found at the prehistoric site of Shillourokampos, Cyprus Professor Vassos Karageorghis, the main speaker of the event and the project leader, discussed the digitization of Cypriot antiquities in foreign museums, explained that this is the first step of a larger effort aiming to highlight the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The event was also addressed by the Director of the Department of Antiquities, Dr. Marina Solomidou-Ieronymidou.

Updates A quest for digitally restoring the Salamis Terracotta Statues Salamis, an ancient city on the Famagusta coast of Cyprus, was one of the richest and most influential urban centers in the Eastern Mediterranean. As such, its archaeological remains are enriching many museums around the world following extensive excavations by various foreign missions during the colonial period of the island. Many of these missions set-up industrial scale enterprises to transport large numbers of artefacts overseas which depleted the island from much of its tangible heritage. Today, one may find them in museums such as the British museum, the Fitzwilliam museum, the Ashmolean museum and many others across Europe. Dr. Vassos Karageorghis, former Director of Antiquities and now Adjunct Professor at The Cyprus Institute, was for several decades the main archaeologist excavating at Salamis. In 2013 he raised a challenging question: Would it be possible to digitally reunify some of the terracotta fragments of Salamis s statues, which are currently dispersed between Cyprus and the UK? An attempt to answer this question will be made in the framework of GRAVITATE, an EU project in which CyI is a partner. The second plenary meeting of the project GRAVITATE was hosted by CyI at its premises. The project aims to create a set of software tools that will allow archaeologists and curators to reconstruct shattered or broken cultural objects, to identify and reunify parts of cultural objects that have been separated across collections, and to recognise associations between cultural artefacts that will allow new knowledge and understanding of past societies to be inferred.

Updates A comprehensive, cost-effective system for Net Zero Energy settlements The Cyprus Institute is a partner in ZERO-PLUS, an EU H2020 project in which a comprehensive, cost-effective system for Net Zero Energy (NZE) settlements will be developed and implemented. As part of the project, four settlements of diverse characteristics will be built in different geographic locations. The settlements will be constructed in Peyia (Cyprus), Grenoble (France), York (UK) and Bologna (Italy). The case studies were selected to include varying local climates, cultures and user behaviours in order to facilitate the transfer of experience and knowledge. The results of their implementation will be monitored, analyzed and disseminated and a comprehensive market analysis and business plan will support the commercial exploitation of the project s results. The project will be carried out by a consortium that includes universities, project owners, technology providers and organizations who will closely collaborate in all the project s phases. CyI in cooperation with the Vasiliou Construction Group will work on applying the principles of zero-energy buildings to a new residential settlement planned in Peyia, Paphos.

Research 1 Million Horizon 2020 TWINNING grant awarded for Networking in Solar Thermal Energy Research CyI has been awarded a 3-year, 1 Million Horizon 2020 TWINNING grant for the NESTER project to promote networking activities in the field of Solar Thermal Energy research. The project aims to upgrade the scientific and innovation performance of CyI in the field of Solar- Thermal Energy (STE). This upgrade will be achieved by embedding the Institute s activities in a network of excellence, which will provide access to the latest know-how and facilities, train CyI s scientific and technical personnel and link it with the European Industry. The NESTER network comprises of four leading institutions in the field of solar energy research (CIEMAT, ENEA, PROMES/CNRS and RWTH Aachen). They possess a formidable know-how in this field and operate some of the most important facilities, worldwide. The resulting enhanced capabilities and status of CyI would in turn reflect positively on developing the knowledge economy of Cyprus. It will also enhance the positioning of Cyprus as an important player in applied scientific research at the interface of the European and Middle East-North Africa regions. A number of activities are proposed in a detailed program which includes training and knowhow transfer, seminars and networking events with European and Eastern Mediterranean-Middle East partners, summer school activities, public outreach, and awareness and networking events. It is designed to ensure sustainability, evolution and continuation of the activities including the cooperation among the partners well beyond the expiration of the three-year funding period. The activity at the CyI s PROTEAS facility will be embedded in an EU network of excellence 7
Research Air pollution could claim 6.6 million lives per year by 2050, double the current rate Every year 3.3 million people die prematurely from the effects of air pollution worldwide - a figure that could double by 2050 if emissions continue to rise at the current rate. This is the conclusion of a study carried out by a team of researchers at CyI and the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany (MPIC). Surprisingly, the largest sources of air pollution are not industry and transport but small domestic fires and agriculture. Exposure to air pollution is particularly acute in Asia, especially in China and India, where three-quarters of the world s pollutionrelated deaths occur. In the September 17, 2015 issue of the journal Nature, a team headed by Johannes Lelieveld, Director of MPIC and CyI Professor, reported that 1.4 million people per year in China and 650,000 people in India die every year as a consequence of air pollution. In the EU, exposure to fine particles and ozone claims 180,000 lives a year, including 35,000 in Germany. In many countries, air pollution accounts for roughly ten-times more deaths than road accidents. Prof. Lelieveld, and his group for Atmospheric and Climate Modelling at CyI and other collaborators in the USA, Cyprus and Saudi Arabia investigated for the first time how mortality rates are affected by various emission sources, such as industry, transport, agriculture, fossil fuelfired power plants, as well as domestic energy use. The latter category includes diesel generators, small stoves and smoky open wood fires, which many people in Asia use for heating and cooking. They also calculated the mortality rates in individual countries and the proportion of deaths due to various causes, which can support policy making. Lelieveld s team focused on the most critical air pollutants, namely fine particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres and ozone. They used a global atmospheric chemistry model to calculate the concentrations of pollutants and to provide data for locations that are not monitored by air quality measurements. They then combined the results with epidemiological data. These data are not representative of many megacities in Asia, where air pollution is much higher than in European and American cities and the team used a refined method to determine the impact of extreme smog in those locations. The color scale represents the increase in deaths due to an expected stronger air pollution: white - no increase; red - 9000 deaths more per year. Credit: Nature, Lelieveld et al. 8
Research CyI Research Campaign Measures Black Carbon Concentration in Athens Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles A team of CyI aerosol specialists led by Prof Jean Sciare participated in an experiment administered by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), and aimed at monitoring the vertical distribution profile of Black Carbon (BC) in Athens, Greece. BC is an aerosol component that has been identified as enhancing climate change and causing adverse health effects. Small domestic fires primarily in fireplaces, have been blamed for a surprising rise in the concentration of BC during nighttime in urban areas. The problem is especially acute in countries affected by the recent financial crisis, where fossil fuel is being replaced by biomass as the heating fuel of choice due to its low cost. The CyI group monitored the BC vertical distribution using a suite of portable, prototype and commercially available aethalometers (instruments that measure BC). The instruments were mounted to a small fleet of multicopters, a type of unmanned aerial vehicles, allowing for measurements from the ground level up to 1 km. Passenger aircrafts, typically used for this type of vertical BC measurements, are restricted from flying in cities at such low altitudes, and other methods used for deriving aerosol vertical distributions (e.g. LIDAR) fail to provide accurate results below 200 m. This technology is a novel way to bridge the gap among currently available techniques. During the campaign a number of prototype aethalometers were used, most of which will become commercially available in the near future, and results were compared against ground-based methods to evaluate their robustness under realistic conditions. The results will be presented within the framework of the Horizon 2020 ACTRIS 2 project, a prestigious European consortium tasked with the integration of European ground-based stations monitoring aerosols, clouds, and short-lived gas-phase species.

Feature PROTEAS: CyI s Platform for Research, Observation and Technological Applications in Solar Energy The PROTEAS Facility is located in Pentakomo, just outside the city of Limassol and is one of the most complete research and development facilities in Cyprus devoted to solar thermal energy systems. The facility uniquely combines ideal environmental conditions with a seaside environment for research, development and testing of technologies related to Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), Solar Thermal Energy (STE) and thermal Desalination of Sea Water (DSW). Harvesting of the solar radiation is accomplished by the use of heliostats, special mirror assemblies that track the sun and redirect its radiation onto a fixed receiver. Each heliostat employed at CyI has a five square meter curved mirror and the facility currently consists of a field of 50 heliostats with a total reflective area of 250 square meters, concentrating the sun s light more than 800 times on a point, and delivering a peak power of 150 kilo-watts of thermal energy. The field of heliostats yields the intensity of 2500 suns, with is capable of reaching temperatures in excess of 1000 C. Sunlight is converted into heat and stored for later use, so solar energy can be used anytime, in the evening or on cloudy days. At CyI it will be used for the co-generation of electricity and desalinated seawater. The field layout efficiently utilizes the hilly terrain with a high-density placement of heliostats. The heliostats are designed by CSIRO, Australia and built in collaboration with CyI. A 18m tall tower with multiple experimental stations is available for the central receiver placement and continuous monitoring of environmental conditions is carried out via a fully automated weather station.

Feature This versatile facility complements the research carried out at CyI s Athalassa campus, providing a test-bed for testing under realistic conditions experiments developed through The Cyprus Institute s various research activities. Additionally, in the spirit of collaboration the facility is open to the international scientific community on a merit based priority scheme. In the future, research activities will be broadened to include other aspects of solar thermal energy, such as linear Fresnel or parabolic trough collector systems, as well as understanding the long-term behavior of components in the harsh-environmental conditions and field testing of applications for the urban built environment. The Adopt a Heliostat Initiative In an effort to promote Green Energy and environmental awareness CyI has launched the Adopt a Heliostat initiative which invites individuals, companies and organizations to become shareholders in solar energy research, by adopting the heliostats placed at the PROTEAS Facility. All proceeds will go towards supporting research in pioneering solar technologies. The sponsorship is a meaningful way to contribute towards social responsibility and will help advance the promotion of renewable energy sources and environmental research. So far fifteen organisations and individuals have answered our call and became sponsors. These include Medochemie, RCB Bank, Alpha Bank, Bank of Cyprus, CDB Bank,Hellenic Bank, IBM Cyprus, Royal Crown Insurance, Muskita Aluminium Industries,Vestafin Construction& Development Ltd, Chr. Mavromatis pumps, NUAOVA STEIM Italy, Μedcon Constructions Ltd, George and Androulla Vassiliou, Edmee Leventis in memory of Dinos Leventis, Crown Plaza Limassol. CyI expresses its gratitude to all sponsors. Their participation in this initiative highlights their commitment to support pioneering programs and activities that address environmental issues. 11

Opinion Cyprus and The Cyprus Institute, Leaders in Securing Competitive EU Research Funding In late January 2016 the official evaluation of the 7th Framework Program (FP7), the EU s research funding program for 2007 to 2013, was released by the European Commission. The main findings, based on a report by an independent group of high level experts, reveal that FP7 was effective in boosting scientific excellence and strengthening Europe s industrial innovation and competitiveness, contributing to growth and jobs in Europe. The evaluation report utilizes a number of indicators to assess the performance of the 28 EU Member States (EU28). In absolute numbers, Germany and the United Kingdom were the leaders in acquiring FP7 competitive funding in the range of 7 billion each, followed by France with approximately 5 billion. Cyprus was in the 22nd position, with a total funding of 93 million. However, when the total FP7 funding is normalised per researcher per year, Cyprus had the best performance compared to all 28 EU member states. In fact, Cyprus with an average 15.313 per researcher per year was by far the best performer whereas the second best, the Netherlands, averaged 8,194. The Cyprus Institute became fully operational after FP7 was launched. Despite this, it had outstanding success in securing FP7 funding and has uniquely contributed to Cyprus achievements mentioned above. The average annual FP7 funding per researcher at The Cyprus Institute amounts to 45.862, which is three times the Cyprus average, and more than twelve times the EU28 average ( 3.642). In this regard, Cyprus and The Cyprus Institute have been leaders in securing competitive EU FP7 funds among all EU member states. These impressive numbers demonstrate the great recent success of The Cyprus Institute in securing competitive funds and they are a concrete indication of its potential for further success in the current EU funding program, Horizon 2020. Indeed, during the first two years of the Horizon 2020 programme, The Cyprus Institute has secured funding in excess of 6 million, with an even better average per researcher amounting to 55.749. https://ec.europa.eu/research/evaluations/pdf/fp7_final_evaluation_expert_ group_report.pdf 20 Konstantinou Kavafi Street, 2121, Aglantzia, Nicosia, Cyprus Tel. +357 22208600, Fax. +357 22208625 Email: info@cyi.ac.cy www.cyi.ac.cy 16
