Advisory Committee
The Cyprus Forum has invited personalities from different areas in Cyprus (business, politics, academia, civic society) to form its Advisory Committee. The Cyprus Forum Advisory Committee provides feedback on the Cyprus Forum agenda, topics, and speakers each year. At the moment, the Advisory Committee comprises of 80 people, 40 women and 40 men, based on our principle of gender equality. The scientific part of the Cyprus Forum (selection of topics and speakers) is a joint effort of the Cyprus Forum’s Steering and Advisory committees.
