At the ceremony, held in the presidential Sándor Palace on Tuesday, Sulyok highlighted Krausz’s scientific discoveries concerning the changing energy levels of electrons “opening unlimited horizons” for nuclear research. Krausz’s work “could save lives and renew many principles of physics and mathematics, urging other researchers to revisit accepted theories,” the president added.
Krausz’s success “is a global achievement and will elevate us Hungarians, too,” Sulyok said, adding that Krausz “has stayed Hungarian when abroad, helping Hungarian scientists and feeling responsible for Hungarian science.”
Krausz thanked Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian government for their assistance in building a team “unparalleled in a global comparison” aimed to “lay the foundations for preventive medical care for the future and build much more efficient health care not only in Hungary but worldwide.”
The ceremony was attended by Orbán, former President János Áder, Interior Minister Sándor Pintér, and House Speaker László Kövér.

Great to hear Orban government giving recognition to groundbreaking scientific work.
I hope Katalin Karikó, who also received Nobel price at the same time as Krausz, will also be recognized and awarded by the Orban government. She worked especially hard for it and even had to even leave Hungary at the early stage of her career as her research funding was cut short in Hungary. Luckily she did not give up and made great success abroad becoming one of the world’s greatest biochemists while still giving huge support to her Alma Mater – Szeged University. It would do Hungary great if the government would invite her back to Hungary with a decent funding for her research.

Oops, just read online that she did receive the Saint Stephens Order recognition already last year 2023 from Orban government. My mistake in my previous comment.
