Reading time: 13 minute(s)

A coherent portfolio of competitive calls was implemented by the NRDI Office to facilitate the regulated, predictable and purpose-oriented use of the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund (NRDI Fund). The calls of the portfolio developed from RDI sources in view of strategic considerations provide funding only to proposals that meet strict assessment criteria. The calls promote research excellence, corporate development and innovation, researcher-industry cooperation as well as the implementation of innovative ideas.

The NRDI Fund’s Programme Strategy 2023 supports the implementation of Hungary’s new innovation strategy, the John von Neumann Programme, which focuses on connecting universities, research institutions and the economy. The priority objective of the Programme Strategy 2023 is to contribute to improving the Hungarian performance in the areas of human resources (number of researchers, number of PhD students, number of STEM students in higher education), number and share of innovator enterprises (number and share of SMEs implementing product and/or process innovation) and intellectual property (IP) (patents, trademarks, designs).

The table below shows the calls announced under the NRDI Fund for the period 2021–2027 and their amounts, broken down by year.
