The role of the KKT will be strengthened in the future by the fact that, based on KIM’s plans, the current president of the KKT will also take over the newly created joint scientific presidency of the NKFI office. In this way, the research grant system will be developed on the basis of individual excellence, i.e. the structure and content of each application, the development of the evaluation and assessment system, decision-making, and operational management of the entire process. under the control of the KKT and its president.
KIM has set as a strategic goal a significant increase in the research fund resources of the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund in order to enable Hungarian excellence to carry out their research work under excellent funding and infrastructure conditions, even according to international standards.
The Hungarian government's goal is for our country to be among the top 10 innovators in Europe by 2030 and among the top 10 innovators in the world by 2040. For this, it is essential for researchers working at Hungarian universities and research institutes to have a long-term, predictable and highly resourced research support system. Strengthening the role of the KKT and creating the position of co-scientific president of the NKFIH serve this purpose, they said.
