Being aware of the huge cyber risks that businesses face, the CCCI has been participating since 2016 as a founding member of the European Cyber Security Organization (ECSO) so that it can keep the business world of Cyprus informed about the risks and the ways to deal with cyber-attacks.
ECSO is the first European public-private partnership in the field of cyber security, and also brings together members of national, regional, and local public administrations, research centers, and universities.
As part of its efforts, ECSO in cooperation with Women4Cyber, has announced the development of a European HR Community, with the main aim of contributing to reducing the workforce gap, and accelerating the recruitment of cyber security professionals in Europe.
More specifically, this community will address issues such as providing information on the practical needs and challenges of the industry, as well as proposing solutions and initiatives aimed at better attracting, recruiting, and retaining talent in the field of cyber security.
Therefore, those members of the CCCI who are active in the field of human resources and wish to be included in the above community, are kindly requested to inform us by Friday 16/06/23 by completing the relevant participation form here.
ΕΦΑΡΜΟΓΗ ΤΩΝ ΠΕΡΙ ΑΣΦΑΛΕΙΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΥΓΕΙΑΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΡΓΑΣΙΑ (ΚΩΔΙΚΑΣ ΠΡΑΚΤΙΚΗΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΗ ΘΕΡΜΙΚΗ ΚΑΤΑΠΟΝΗΣΗ ΤΩΝ ΕΡΓΑΖΟΜΕΝΩΝ) ΔΙΑΤΑΓΜΑΤΩΝ ΤΟΥ 2014 ΚΑΙ 2020 (ΚΜΚ / 16)
Ενόψει των υψηλών θερμοκρασιών που ενδέχεται να επικρατήσουν κατά τους επόμενους μήνες, το Τμήμα Επιθεώρησης Εργασίας (ΤΕΕ) του Υπουργείου Εργασίας και Κοινωνικών Ασφαλίσεων υπενθυμίζει τους εργοδότες και τους εργαζόμενους ότι οι κίνδυνοι για την υγεία των εργαζομένων από τη θερμική καταπόνηση είναι ιδιαίτερα αυξημένοι.
The Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry informs us that in order to better plan the activities that will take place in the year 2024, and in particular regarding international service exhibitions abroad, it expects relevant suggestions from those interested to participate with a state pavilion.
The Ministry’s announcement noted that it is worth pointing out that, in addition to the traditional service sectors in which Cyprus has historically been strong (such as professional services and shipping), after relevant market research, the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry places particular emphasis on new emerging service sectors (e.g. information and communication technology, health, etc.).
To this end, please inform us of your suggestions and proposals for exhibitions abroad, in which you believe that it would be useful for Cyprus to participate with a state pavilion.
We expect the interested parties to send their suggestions in writing to the email petsides@ccci.org.cy no later than Monday 26/6/23.
It is noted that the suggestions will be taken into account when preparing the final list of exhibitions for which the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry will proceed with a relevant announcement of the “De Minimis Aid Scheme to Cypriot companies for participation in Services exhibitions abroad in which the Ministry participates with a State pavilion.” The final list will be based on the total budget adopted for the year 2024.
It is briefly stated that the sponsorship covers:
– 85% of the cost of participating in these exhibitions
– €700 for promotional material (posters, banners, brochures, leaflets) and/or coverage of the cost of TV and DVD rental.
