Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Cyprus has offered to share its experience in applying artificial intelligence in the educational process with Armenia. This was announced by Athena Michaelidou, Minister of Education, Sports and Youth of Cyprus, during a meeting with her Armenian counterpart Zhanna Andreasyan in Yerevan. According to the Minister, the Cypriot side, together with European partners, has already prepared recommendations for teachers on working with AI tools and is ready to share the relevant materials with Armenia.

Andreasyan, in turn, spoke about national initiatives in this field. Among them is the “Generation AI” program implemented jointly with the FAST Foundation, as well as the work of the Photonics and AI Laboratory of Yerevan State University. Special attention was paid to the seven-year Physical AI development program, which will involve three Armenian universities: Yerevan State University, National Polytechnic University of Armenia, and the American University of Armenia.

The parties also discussed expanding inter-university ties, academic exchanges, and conducting joint scientific research. Following the talks, the ministers signed a memorandum of understanding covering cooperation in the fields of education, sports, and youth policy.
