Hungarian government supports revamping Transylvanian university building

The Hungarian government will provide 560 million forints (EUR 1.4m) for the refurbishment of another property belonging to the Hungarian Sapientia University of Transylvania, Culture Minister Balázs Hankó said in Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár), in north-western Romania, on Friday.

The building, a historical monument in the centre of Cluj, will serve as a accommodation for guest professors and will host specialised courses after renovation, the minister said.

“Our mission is to ensure that Hungarian youth in the Carpathian Basin can acquire competitive skills and preserve their Hungarian identity at the same time,” Hanko told a press conference at the building.

The single-storey building was purchased by the Sapientia Foundation from a grant provided by the Hungarian government in 2021.
