Since 2007, Cyta has participated in the EU-funded ‘Safer Internet Plus’ programme, collaborating with the programme coordinator – the Cyprus Neuroscience & Technology Institute (CNTI) – and other bodies to create the CyberEthics node in Cyprus. The objectives of the programme are to operate a Hotline, via which members of the public may report illegal Internet content, and to raise public awareness of issues pertaining to safe Internet use.
