Yiannis was one of the 32 Turkish and Greek speaking Cypriots who are credited for planting the seeds of the Cyprus peace movement in the early 90s, having introduced thousands in conflict resolution and structured dialogue; a group that became known as "Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group". In 1996, he pioneered in using technology to "break" the communication wall and support peace builders coordinate and plan their activities, a project that evolved into a portal with UN funding in 2000-2003 and became known as Tech4Peace. HasNa Inc supported several of Yianni's visions and projects, including a "Young Journalists" Project (2002/), the "Reconciliation Now!" initiative (2003), the "Talk of the Island" (2005) and the "Towards a New Media Landscape" (2007). His early years' experiences were documented in his "Masks of Demons" book. In the years following the negative outcome of the 2004 referendum, Yiannis and his team launched the "Civil Society Dialogue project in Cyprus" and provided opportunities for active citizens on both sides to discuss and scientifically analyze the situation. | |||

Yiannis is a tireless peace builder, social and science entrepreneur, currently leading "Re-inventing Democracy in the Digital Era", a project funded by the Digital Futures Unit of the EC and the UN Democracy Fund. He is also one of the 12 experts who co-authored the Onlife Manifesto on how the deployment of ICTs and their uptake by society affect radically the human condition, insofar as it modifies our relationships to ourselves, to others and to the world. He now pioneers in the application of the Structured Dialogic Design Process (SDD) in the Cyprus and the Middle East peace movement and in many pan-European and global networks supporting stakeholders design their own futures. | |||

He is Co-Founder of CYBERETHICS: Cyprus Safer Internet Center. In the 90’s he founded CYBER Kids (www.cyber-kids.com), a chain of franchised computer learning centers, which introduced IT in the lives of over 15,000 children and 10,000 adults in Cyprus and many more in the 7 countries where it was also launched. He also founded Gnous.com, which develops video games to assess cognitive profiles of growing children as a means to diagnose learning difficulties and to individualise learning programs. Yiannis is an international leader in the theory and application of the science of structured dialogic design and conducts research towards developing systems to enable scaling up participatory dialogic processes to engage asynchronously thousands of people in meaningful authentic dialogues, thus accelerating institutional and societal change. | Yiannis is a social, science and business entrepreneur, a neuroscientist and systems engineer educated in Germany and US, currently heading Future Worlds Center (www.futureworlds.eu).

He promotes the application of mobile learning and broadband technologies to bridge ethnic-, digital-, economic-, educational- and inter-personal divides on our planet. He was member of the Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group that planned and carried out trainings in communications- and conflict resolution skills that eventually reached thousands from both the Greek and Turkish communities. Together with Aleco Christakis and Marios Michaelides, he applied the Structured Democratic Dialogue Process (SDDP) worldwide. His books MasksofDemons.com and CitizensCommandments.com are relevant. His contributions in systems science applications were recognized by the Hellenic Society for Systemic Studies with their 2008 Award. His group develops systems to enable scaling up the SDD process to engage asynchronously thousands in meaningful dialogue, thus accelerating positive societal change. | Laouris is a social and business entrepreneur, a neuroscientist, and a systems engineer with academic background in medicine and engineering.
