DSRI’s mission is to undertake research and training activities on defence and security in collaboration with partners in government; industry; and other academic and research centres nationally and internationally.
The institute’s mission is also fully aligned to the European Union’s action plan to invest in the common development of technologies and equipment of strategic importance for defence capabilities and cyber security. The DSRI aims to work closely with Cyprus government, particularly with the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contribute to the research and development challenges.
