About the research university programme

Negotiations between the European Commission and the Hungarian government concerning
the New Hungary Development Plan have been closed. As a result of anticipated changes,
an even higher rate of funding will be made available for reaching employment and
economic growth objectives, whilst a slightly lower rate of funding in relation to original
plans will be allocated for transport development. 
 
Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary’s leading research university has been a successful
applicant in a process invited by National Development Agency in 2010. The aim of the
sponsorship - called Social Renewal Operational Programme – was to improve the research
abilities of the best universities of Hungary. 
 
The purpose of the Social Renewal Operational Programme is to implement inventions
successfully in the project period 2007-2013, which affect the entire population of the
country, based on the infrastructure background, equal chances of access to quality services
provided primarily by the Programme and other regional operative programmes.
 
Our project is called „For Knowledge on an European Scale, ELTE”, supported by the
European Union and co-financed by the European Social Fund (grant agreement no. TAMOP
4.2.1/B-09/1/KMR-2010-0003). Our project is dedicated to strengthen the international
competitiveness of the Eötvös Loránd University through improving as well the educational
as the research areas. Establishment of first class facilities and laboratories, implementation
and provision of all possible technical resources could result significant development at the
university’s excellence. The Project has paid particular attention to integrate our researches
in international fields with other universities, too.
