Academic Researchers

C.I.P. Citizens in Power (CIP) is a non-profit educational and research organisation and one of Cyprus's leading bodies in the fields of global education, social innovation, citizen engagement, entrepreneurship, STEM, clean energy, and sustainable growth. CIP has taken part in more than 100 EU-funded projects, including KA2, AMIF, ENI CBC Med, COSME, CERV, PRIMA, and Horizon Europe.CIP is now the founding organisation behind NiMATH, the Nicosia Mathematical Museum, the first museum dedicated to mathematics in Cyprus.&nbsp;About NiMATHNiMATH opens to the public in November 2026, housed in the former Shadow Theatre building in Nicosia, next to the Hambis Printmaking Museum. The museum is built on a single organising idea: that mathematics is a language, with its own grammar and structure, best acquired through use rather than repetition. Its exhibits are interactive and hands-on, inviting visitors of all ages to explore mathematical thinking through play, logic, and creativity. Many of these exhibits are developed through CIP's European projects and in collaboration with an international network of leading European mathematics museums and Universities, as well as science-communication organisations.&nbsp;The RoleWe are recruiting mathematicians to join the team building and running NiMATH and CIP's mathematics-focused European projects.
