Széchenyi István University is now the dominant knowledge center in our country. Development projects related to the creation of modern infrastructure and excellent teaching and research personnel, as well as the introduction of leading technologies, provide a special opportunity to further enhance the scientific performance of the institution. The Board of Trustees of the István Széchenyi Foundation for Universities, which administers the university, has established the Council for Innovation and Science for this purpose, which recently held its inaugural meeting.
The task of the council is to formulate proposals for the promotion and use of the scientific potential of the university, as well as to support the scientific activities of the university. The council coordinates and appoints the scientific work carried out at the university, as well as in other organizations and business groups of the institution. In addition, he comments on innovative, scientific and research documents of strategic importance, and can make proposals regarding them, and participates in cooperation in innovation, research and the scientific ecosystem of universities and institutions. The Board of Trustees will seek the opinion of the Board before making decisions in this area.
