A proud academic moment. Celebrating the publication of two new books and, above all, the promotion of my very first PhD student at Queen's University Belfast to Full Professor at the University of Cyprus
Nothing could be more rewarding. Warmest congratulations — richly deserved @IKovras @QUBelfast @UCYOfficial

The Cyprus debate is short on evidence.
We built a tool to change that.
Design a settlement. Test its support across both communities with PCSST. See what each community will find tolerable.
A viable peace isn’t abstract—it’s measurable. And within reach.

We’re delighted to have @AchilleasDem, @kieranmcevoy2, and @NMavronicola joining us to share their insights on Monday.
Since the issue of the Missing in Cyprus is in the news, perhaps this is an interesting workshop to attend: 3-4/11/25 in Nicosia

My latest article in @JITP_APSA examines how personalized political information shapes voter decisions. Results show that tailored information strongly boosts electoral participation by clarifying political options yet rarely alters established voting preferences. 1/4

Παγκόσμια πρωτοτυπία. Επενδύσαμε στα δημόσια πανεπιστήμια με πολύ καλά αποτελέσματα, και τώρα τα κρατάμε καθηλωμένα καθώς δίνουμε γην και ύδωρ σε ξένα ιδρύματα.
