Discussions have begun regarding a potential restructuring of Hungary’s research network, known as HUN-REN. The initial talks were held Thursday in a roundtable meeting between Mihály Pósfai, President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA), and Zoltán Tanács, Minister of Science and Technology. A legislative package outlining the changes could be submitted as early as this autumn. The meeting marked the start of negotiations between the two key figures involved in the future of Hungarian research funding and organization. Details of the proposed changes remain undisclosed at this time. The restructuring aims to modernize and potentially streamline the national research infrastructure. Further discussions are expected to follow in the coming months.
