The Society of Biological Sciences in Cyprus (SBSCy) actively supports this year’s Athens Science Festival, promoting its activities aimed at informing and educating the community of Biologists and the public of Cyprus.

The Society of Biological Sciences in Cyprus (SBSCy) was established, and officially registered in late 2020, by 46 founding members from different sectors sharing the objective of promoting the Biological Sciences in Cyprus. Biology is thriving and is contributing landmark new discoveries internationally, positively affecting different aspects of human welfare. Enormous changes have also taken place in Cyprus; several public and private Universities and Institutes have been established for the first time in the last 2-3 decades, research in Biological Sciences is being conducted locally, also for the first time, and there is a growing and vibrant body of scientists involved in education, research, clinical practice, SMEs, environmental assessments and management, as well as students at different stages of their studies both in Cyprus and abroad. There is, therefore, a growing need today for a modern, active and inclusive scientific society to reflect the great changes that have taken place in the way the Biological Sciences are taught and practiced in Cyprus in the past decades, and to be in line with international scientific trends and European practices in the field.

The vision of SBSCy is to serve as a unifying forum for all Biologists in Cyprus. Our mission is to contribute to the general public’s understanding and appreciation of the beauty and usefulness of Biology in improving the quality of life and in protecting our environment. Our aim is to facilitate the promotion and effective diffusion of new discoveries in Biological Sciences to the benefit of the local and international community and to involve the layperson in this effort.
