Hungarian Participation in the Fifth Framework Programme

Hungarian participants first became active in EC funded research during the Fourth Framework Programme, in which they were able to participate as third country entities while covering their own costs. Following the signature of association agreements and their entry into force (1 August 1999 for Hungary), legal entities based in 11 Associated States were given the opportunity to participate and obtain financial support in the Fifth Framework Programme under essentially the same rules and conditions as legal entities in EU Member States (press release). This provided an unparalleled opportunity for researchers of the Candidate Countries at the time to become actively involved in leading edge research, build new relationships, and strengthen existing partnerships with entities in EU member states, obtain the necessary financial and partner support, as well as new exploit new opportunities for the realisation of their own projects.

Hungarian researchers greeted this opportunity with enthusiasm. During the Fifth Framework Programme

162 Hungarian participants cooperated in
117 projects with
1406 foreign partners
from 43 countries and
1 international organisation.

The participation figures for small and medium enterprises exhibited notable success.

The list of IST projects started under the Fifth Framework Programme with Hungarian participants is available on the projects page.
