The initiative is a collaborative venture, co-financed by the municipalities of Paphos and Ierokipi. This partnership highlights a coordinated approach between local authorities to invest in infrastructure improvements that boost public safety, enhance traffic operations, and stimulate economic activity.

As the project progresses, stakeholders anticipate that the road improvements will not only elevate driving safety and streamline traffic flow but also contribute significantly to the overall quality of urban development in the region.

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.
