On May 19, 2022, the Institute of Youth, in partnership with ITML and the ADACORSA project, successfully co-hosted the "Drones in Cyprus" event in Nicosia, Cyprus. This significant gathering attracted members of the general public, various government agencies, and researchers. Notably, representatives from the Cyprus Police and the Nicosia municipality were present, exploring the applications and implications of drone technology for law enforcement in Cyprus.
A key feature of the event was the distribution of a public acceptance survey, developed by SC9, among attendees. The responses from this survey are expected to provide crucial insights into the public's perception and acceptance of drone technology. These findings will be instrumental in guiding future initiatives and strategies in this rapidly evolving field.
