The Higher Technical Institute (HTI) was a very early partner of Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute and of CYBER KIDS. Both organizations have hosted dozens of interns working on their various computer and engineering projects. HTI's focus was on practical skills and all students had to spend considerable time with an industrial partner working on a project and thesis. Various CNTI and CYBER KIDS researchers have also taught classes as visiting professors at HTI. Yiannis Laouris taught Artificial Intelligence, Object-oriented languages, Systems Analysis and Design, Operating Systems, Neuroscience for Engineers, etc[1] and supervised more than 20 students[2]. Dinos Georgiades and George Vakanas taught some of the same classes and also supervised 4-5 students each.
