  • The first conference on Advances in Civil Engineering, started under the pioneership of Middle East Technical University (METU) and Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), was held in Gazimagusa, Northern Cyprus  in 1993. The second and third conferences, which have seen the entrance of Bogazici University (BU) and Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in the organization structure, were held in Istanbul, in 1995 and in Ankara 1997, respectively.  

    The fourth conference is now scheduled for 1-3 November 2000 in Gazimagusa, Northern Cyprus, organized jointly by EMU, BU, ITU and METU. The main aim of the conference is to bring together and enhance dialogue among worldwide professionals and researchers from all fields of civil engineering to discuss the emerging important issues in civil engineering on the brink of the third millennium.

  • Cyprus from space   The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has a rich archaeological, historical, and cultural legacy. Centrally situated in the Mediterranean at the crossroads between Europe and the Middle East, Northern Cyprus has been through the centuries a meeting place of civilizations and cultures; today, it continues to be a crossroads of cultures, both traditional and modern. Gazimagusa (pop. 20,000), located on the eastern coast of North Cyprus, was originally founded as a small commercial port and fishing town. It flourished in the 13th century and became an important trading center between East and West. Well preserved historical sites include the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, the Venetian walls surrounding the historic city, the remains of the ancient port and town of Salamis, the tomb of St. Barnabas, the Tower of Othello, and the late Bronze Age settlement of Enkomi. This is also the city where the famous Ottoman Turkish poet Namik Kemal spent three years in exile. http://www.emu.edu.tr/country/gmagusa/index
