Our AI in Government - CySKILLS-AI project work is now underway. Thankful for the great partnership and collaboration of CYENS Centre of Excellence on this important project.
CYENS Centre of Excellence is proud to be part of CySKILLS-AI, a national research and innovation project developed in collaboration with Artemis Intelligence and the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth aiming to align education with the future needs of the labour market in Cyprus.
Funded under the “AI in Government” programme, the project addresses critical national challenges such as fragmented data, delayed policy responses, and limited forecasting capacity by building a real-time, AI-powered skills intelligence system.
The CYENS team, Dr Vassilis Vassiliades, Marios Thoma, Chara Theocharous, and Niki Kyriakou contributes to the development of advanced AI solutions that transform complex, multi-source data into actionable insights for policymakers, educators, and industry.
💡 At the core of CySKILLS–AI is a three-layer system that:
• Consolidates data from job markets, higher education, and national surveys
• Uses specialised AI agents to analyse skills gaps, career pathways, and future trends
• Delivers real-time intelligence through tailored dashboards for decision-makers
Running from March 2026 to March 2029, the project will support faster, evidence-based decision-making and strengthen the connection between education, innovation, and employment in Cyprus.
At CYENS, we continue to turn cutting-edge research into meaningful societal impact bringing AI into real-world challenges that shape the future of work.
