SCAP in TEKNOFEST Finals!

We are proud to announce that we (Assoc. Prof. Dr. Keyvan Bahlouli and Asst. Prof. Dr. Neyre Tekbıyık Ersoy) have been selected as finalists in TEKNOFEST in Social Innovation Competition, with our innovative SCAP (Sustainable Capstone Projects) program. We co-created this program together almost two years ago with a vision of raising awareness about waste utilization and renewable energy among students, and we have been the co-directors of this amazing program ever since.

Since then, SCAP has grown beyond our initial vision. Today, the program welcomes students from all levels (undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate) across Cyprus International University (CIU).  During the last two years, students joined SCAP voluntarily and built systems that generate electricity, heat, or purified water. Therefore, this achievement is a special one – not only because of the recognition, but because it reflects the hard work, creativity, and passion of everyone who made SCAP possible. A heartfelt thank you to all the previous and current SCAP members, SCAP leaders and individuals who believed in us and shared our vision. A special thank you to the ones who donated materials to our program and supported us.

The greatest thank you goes to our spouses for their endless support, patience and sacrifices they made so that we could spend more time on this program.

This recognition belongs to all of us. Let’s keep creating, innovating, and pushing boundaries toward a more sustainable future!
