FTC26: 180+ registrations in 7 days, 120+ students in the room. No prizes, no competition — just a conversation about AI and the future of work.
Announcing FTC26: speakers from Microsoft, Accenture, TEDx and the AI ecosystem — June 15 at RTU.
Four months at the Future Business Community Incubator — and a pitch win for our accessible-communication platform.
A semester of workshops, mentoring and user interviews — and 3rd place at the final entrepreneurial pitch.
From 25 teams to the finals — then Best Team among 15 finalists with SpendSense, a financial-awareness tool.
A Dynamic AHP model that finds the exact moment one option overtakes another. Presented at the RTU Alumni Young Researchers Conference.
From an ambitious idea to a working AI twin — with the very first "experiment bunny" being the professor herself.
The conversation about AI has changed — from fear to “how do we build with it?”
Distorted avatars, an editor I don’t know how to build yet, and stitching open-source models into one real-time pipeline.
Reply Mirror AI Agent Challenge: memory, narrative and consensus agents with an LLM judge on top.
From prompt-based AI to agents that plan and execute — and why education needs to evolve fast.
An RTU Innovations challenge that pushed a team of IT students way beyond code — and we built more versions than we were asked for.
A foundation in Google's AI tools for education — and one more step into AI/ML.
Zotero, Mendeley and why good developers give proper credit.
TechChill × Anthropic — call an operator, say "invoice this contact", and the agent does the rest. 3rd place.
Protocols.io and why reproducible workflows make work scalable.
Zenodo, Dataverse, and why the future belongs to developers who use existing data smartly.
Engineer + architect + AI operator: why thinking in systems beats memorising frameworks.
Code + explanation + output = reproducible research.
Why most CS students are learning the wrong things — and the fix: ship something every month.
Commits as a timeline of decisions, branches as fearless experiments.
Build → test → fail → improve → repeat. Why the next wave of startups will come from student builders.
Open science, open data, open code — and how closely modern research connects with good development practice.
Innovation happens where research meets implementation.
Developers who work well with AI will outperform those who don't.
Erasmus+ BIP: AI and VR workshops — and what working in international teams really teaches you.
Instead of comparing course catalogs by hand for Erasmus, I built a crawler + embeddings pipeline to do it.
A Cyprus challenge: capture heritage sites in Limassol, then recreate them in immersive digital form.
Containers, images and containerised application workflows.
Early HearMe: validating the idea with real users before building more.
2,000 years ago, engineers mastered acoustics without digital simulation.
Failed one lab three times, kept going — and finished the whole learning path.
AI shouldn't be banned. It shouldn't be blindly trusted either. It must be structured.
While BCI focuses on prototyping, FVL focuses on validation — real interviews, real market data.
VR headsets, 360° environments and smart wearables — and how they actually work underneath.
Real-time video calls + AI sign-language recognition, built on Microsoft Azure.
RTU's Student Innovation Grant: prototypes, industry mentors — and a scholarship to build.
An Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme at Cyprus University of Technology.
Cloud, AI/ML and GPU-accelerated tech — through the Google Developer Program.
Speech-to-text, text-to-sign, sign-language avatars and role-based modes — our Imagine Cup 2026 entry.
Not building hardware — building structured, defendable solutions under constraints.
If ATLAS is the brain of discovery, this is the nervous system — science that runs 24/7.
Why is the universe made of matter at all? Standing where that question is tested.
Standing next to one of the largest particle detectors in the world — science at this scale is never individual.
Low-energy precision physics — where theory meets superconducting engineering.
Making complex physics accessible to everyone.
Maximise system value while cutting satellite load — under real-world constraints.
Standing where Tim Berners-Lee invented the web in 1989.
Cut the constellation by ~60% — without collapsing navigation, climate monitoring or disaster warning.
Not "can we remove debris?" but "can we scale removal sustainably?"
One collision, thousands of fragments, and an orbit that becomes unusable.
Joining the Innovation and Technology Transfer division at RTU Science and Innovation Centre.
Orbital sustainability: three future scenarios, 55–66% fewer satellites, and a unified strategy by day seven.
Free bikes, live KM tracking, streaks and rewards — cutting campus CO₂ one ride at a time.
AI-driven digital technologies with students from across Europe — at Cyprus University of Technology.
New tools, resources and a global developer community.
