The National Research, Development and Innovation Office recently delivered a series of informative presentations for lecturers and researchers at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University on the European Union\u2019s Horizon Europe calls. During the information day, staff of the Office\u2019s National Contact Point provided useful insights into the application process and the details of conducting research within consortia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To promote the Horizon Europe programme, a network of National Contact Points has been established in every EU Member State \u2013 including Hungary \u2013 playing a key role in supporting the success of applications in each country. In Hungary, the group operating under the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH) is responsible for providing high-quality, free-of-charge support to potential applicants, including research institutes, universities, companies, non-profit organisations and individual researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Office\u2019s staff recently visited Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University to offer lecturers and researchers the opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of the application system through an information day and one-to-one consultations. The event was organised by the University\u2019s Directorate for Grants, which has been supporting staff for nearly twenty years in identifying funding opportunities, preparing successful applications and ensuring effective project implementation. The unit currently coordinates around 140 ongoing projects with a total value of nearly HUF 30 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe University is a key partner of the NKFIH, and thirty per cent of our applications are linked to schemes managed by them,\u201d<\/em> stated N\u00f3ra M\u00e9sz\u00e1ros, Head of the Directorate of Projects. She added that a quarter of the currently running projects are implemented within international collaborations, fourteen of which fall under the Horizon Europe framework. She also noted that the University\u2019s projects cover a wide range of professional fields, including agricultural digitalisation, sustainable mobility, the development of alternative fuels, and the protection of freshwater ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the opening of the programme, Dr P\u00e9ter N\u00e9meth, Scientific Secretary of the University, emphasised that building international research networks is of strategic importance for the institution, as is publishing the results of such collaborations in prestigious, internationally recognised, Scopus-indexed journals.\u00a0\u201cThese publication outcomes, the utilisation of intellectual outputs, and the revenues from grants directly contribute to the sustainable operation of our University and to our position in international higher education rankings,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n

During the briefing, Dr Borb\u00e1la Schenk, Head of the NKFIH\u2019s International Cooperation Department, provided an overview of the Horizon Europe programme.\u00a0\u201cCurrently, more than seven hundred calls are available, covering areas from health and autonomous vehicles to agricultural innovation. There are therefore numerous fields in which targeted calls are open and available for application,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she noted. She drew attention to the fact that participation in major international consortia requires broad visibility and active engagement with researchers from other countries. She encouraged those interested to take advantage of the support opportunities offered by the Office, to build their international partner networks, and to apply with confidence for calls that align with their professional activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentations, the NKFIH\u2019s National Contact Points outlined the thematic areas available for application based on the structure of the Horizon Europe programme, namely the six clusters that define its calls. Zsuzsanna K\u00fcrti presented health; D\u00f3ra Pivarcsin\u00e9 Fekete, Head of Department, covered culture, creativity and inclusive society; M\u00e1t\u00e9 Schultheisz and Fl\u00f3ra Csesznok discussed civil security, as well as digitalisation, industry and space; Barbara Kiss presented energy, mobility and climate; while No\u00e9mi Genzler introduced opportunities related to food, bioeconomy, natural resources, agriculture and the environment. The EU\u2019s \u201cNew European Bauhaus\u201d architectural initiative was also discussed, which supports developments that are beautiful, sustainable and inclusive. In the second half of the information day, participants had the opportunity to take part in individual consultations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
