Alpha Bank Cyprus Champions Educational Equality Through Nationwide Back-to-School Initiative

Corporate Social Responsibility At Its Finest

Alpha Bank Cyprus has once again reaffirmed its commitment to social responsibility by engaging in the nationwide “Back-to-School Initiative,” organized by the Pan-Cypriot Coordinating Council of Volunteering. Now in its 11th consecutive year, the campaign underscores the bank’s enduring pledge to create a positive social impact by ensuring that vulnerable children from disadvantaged backgrounds are well-equipped for a dignified start to the academic year.

Strategic Impact Through Corporate Citizenship

As a leading supporter in this initiative, Alpha Bank Cyprus offered redeemable gift vouchers for purchasing school supplies. This decisive support meets the immediate needs identified by NGOs and various social partners across Cyprus, while emphasizing the campaign’s powerful message: “Help A Child Start School With A Smile.”

Empowering Future Generations

Education remains a strategic priority for Alpha Bank Cyprus. Committed to advancing equal access to education for all children, the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility strategy focuses on initiatives that secure the essential resources for an effective and seamless start to students’ academic journeys.

A Legacy Of Social Cohesion

Through continued investment in initiatives that bolster social cohesion and drive progress, Alpha Bank Cyprus exemplifies a governance model predicated on accountability, mutual support, and pragmatic social investment. This approach not only empowers individuals but also fortifies the community at large.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
