The minister said this would not be a foundation operating model, the university’s students can continue to participate in Erasmus programs, and researchers in Horizon Europe applications.
The institution’s real estate and assets will remain under the university’s management, he added.
Hankó said the renewal of higher education serves the interests of the Hungarian nation, the economy and young people. The aim is to have a Hungarian university among the best in Europe and the top 100 in the world by 2030, and for Hungary to be among the 10 most innovative countries in Europe.
BME said in a statement that a general higher education performance framework agreement and contract between BME Fenntarto and the ministry sets out the university’s performance commitments that ensure the institution’s state funding until 2030.
According to the agreement, the number of qualified lecturers and researchers, the income from R&D and experts, direct EU funds and domestic tenders, as well as the number of qualified publications and citations must be increased.
Hankó noted that if the commitments are fulfilled, the university’s budget could increase from last year’s HUF 20 bln to HUF 30 bln this year.
