Update 7 June 2010:
Due to the low number of applications, this event has been cancelled. If you would like to visit Cyprus around August time to carry out recruitment activities the British Council Cyprus will be happy to provide discounted rates on both advertising on the British Council website and the hiring out of their facilities in Nicosia to meet with potential students. For further details please contact Sarah Kinsey at sarah.kinsey@britishcouncil.org.

Key details

The participation fee includes:

• venue hire
• table, 1.8 metres by 0.76 metres, with a tablecloth and three chairs
• power sockets upon request
• free Wi-Fi access
• PR campaign: advertising on website, radio, newspapers, web banners, flyers all over Cyprus

Stand sharing will be made available at a premium of twenty per cent on the stand costs.
