Located at the intersection of Europe, MENA, and Asia, the island’s strategic position has shaped its rich cultural heritage and 10,000-year history, making it one of the oldest civilizations in the region. ECSM 2026 presents an excellent opportunity to discover Cyprus, connect with fellow academics and professionals, share ideas, and gain fresh perspectives.
