SUSPENSION OF OPERATIONS UNTIL 15 MARCH 2020

Following the recommendation of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sport and Youth (10.3.2020) for Public and Private Institutes of Higher Education in Nicosia in an effort to prevent the spread of the CONVID-19, Frederick University and Frederick Institute of Technology, in an abundance of caution, have decided today, Tuesday 10.03.2020, to suspend operations from Wednesday 11.03.2020 until Sunday, 15.03.2020.

The suspension of operations also applies to the Limassol campus. The University’s Distance Learning Programs will continue their operations normally.

⚠️ ATTENTION ⚠️

It is with heavy heart to inform you that after following the guidelines from the Ministry of Education and other relevant authorities, all international conferences in Cyprus have been cancelled, due to rising concerns regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. Thus, for the safety of the participants FREDMUN 2020 has been officially CANCELLED. All the participants will be informed in due time regarding the fees and their rest expenses. We hope that we will see you back on board for our next edition of FREDMUN!

🔶 UN Human Rights Council 🔶

Climate change has been a central issue for the past few decades. As the earth’s temperatures have been following unprecedented and alarming fluctuations, so has awareness around the topic multiplied. However, the fact of mere public awareness is not remotely enough for combating the severe impacts of climate change so much on human rights, as on the environment. Millions of deaths have been linked with the aforesaid phenomenon, as it hinders people’s access to food, to good quality housing, to a healthy environment, making them prone to malicious diseases and extreme weather conditions, forcing many to leave their homelands. Governments all over the world have but recently started to address the issue in both national and international contexts, with SDG 13 and the Paris Agreement being important steps in this endeavour. Is it, however, time to sit back and rejoice, or is now, more than ever, the time to actively pursue change in the face of a destructive force threatening our most integral human rights?
