Therefore, the government launched an alternative research cooperation support program under almost an identical name. The original Horizon programme is extremely popular. Even the United Kingdom joined it after Brexit, despite the obligation to pay a lot of money for the membership.
A programme dubbed HU-rizont is being launched with a budget of 8 billion forints (EUR 20.1m) this year to strengthen international research cooperation, the state secretary for innovation and higher education said on Friday.
Balázs Hankó said at the Educatio fair that the government programme would also finance the research expenses incurred by foreign universities working in partnership with Hungarian universities.
“If they try to lock us up, we will open to the world, which is why we have announced the Pannonia Programme for international exchange, for which applications can already be submitted in January, and we are launching the HU-rizont programme to promote international research cooperation,” he added.

What the E.U. is doing to Hungary is scandalous. I’ve said this many times but it bears repeating: If those gangsters had an army, there would be Euro tanks on the streets of Budapest today, just like in 1956. Luckily, just like the Soviet Union, the corrupt, anti-democratic European Union will collapse like a house of cards someday.
What the EU is doing is not enough. It bears repeating that Hungary has repeatedly broken the democratically agreed rules of EU membership. Breaking the rules has consequences and its high time to punish Hungary for its violations of EU membership rules. EU would never send tanks anywhere as any member state can resign from EU anytime they want. EU should also not send money nor other support to members who do not want follow the democratically agreed rules of EU membership.
