Hungary launches new research grant programme

The government is launching a 6 billion forint Research Grant Hungary programme to motivate foreign and Hungarian science researchers working abroad to implement their projects in Hungary, Janos Csák, the minister for culture and innovation, said on Friday.

Research Grant Hungary’s forerunner was the HUN-REN scheme, a recruitment programme that has already brought seven successful foreign researchers to Hungary, he noted. The goal is for there to be 9,000 researchers per one million people and for Hungary to enter the top ten most innovative EU countries by 2030, Csák added.
