Center of Applied Research (CAR), Cyprus College

The Centre of Applied Research (CAR) was founded by Cyprus College in 1991 as an independent non-profit making institution specialising in research and related activities, with special emphasis on research which serves the community.

The Centre employs about ten researchers on a full-time basis and also draws on the human resources of Cyprus College, especially its numerous academics, on a project basis.

A particular strength and expertise of the Centre lies in undertaking innovative and complex sample surveys and in sophisticated analysis. Since 1994, CAR has carried out an annual survey of Cypriot Social Attitudes which covers a fixed set of topics and is designed to measure change over time.

Other activities of the Centre include socio-economic research and opinion research, here with especial emphasis on political polling and public opinion surveys.

The Centre also serves as the official depository library of the World Bank in Cyprus and is the official distributor of World Bank publications in the region.
