⭐ "The CYENS - Thinker Maker Space Artist-in-Residence program should catch the attention of a wide spectrum of creatives who work with science and technology. This funded residency opportunity in Cyprus not only provides an exciting interdisciplinary environment, but also gives residents rare access to 3D scanning and robotics equipment."

Aiming to become a creative and innovation hub in Nicosia’s historic centre, the Thinker Maker Space plans to utilise its Artist-in-Residence Program to expand the knowledge and services of the centre through skill sharing and collaboration.
