The HUF 1 Billion Research Program of Informatics Launched by the EIT ICT Labs Budapest Associate Partner Group in 2013
The National Development Agency issued a call for
proposals in 2012 on the promotion of Hungary’s
participation in the EIT KICs and its cooperation with
the EIT KIC partners. The EIT ICT Labs Budapest As-
sociate Partner Group with Eötvös Loránd University
(ELTE), Budapest University of Technology and Eco-
nomics (BME) and Cisco Systems Ltd. as its mem-
bers, has been granted HUF 1 billion funding by the
state to set up the local Co-Location Centre and serve
as a “carrier” for the research projects carried out be-
tween March 2013 and the first half of 2014.
