Bay Zoltán Research Centre has successfully implemented about 80 international projects.
The projects were financed from grants. The tenders were most often financed by the EU’s R&D Framework Programmes, but we also led or participated in several international consortia in the EU’s Interreg programs, such as the South-East Europe, Central Europe or Danube Transnational programs.
We are proud that we were the 12th most successful R+D+I institution among the Hungarian applicants in the EU Horizon 2020 program.
