The aim of the priority call “Establishing the János Selye Student Laboratory Network”, announced from the NRDI Fund (hereinafter: Priority Call), is to enable the previously established Student Laboratories to further develop their activities and to ensure that their results can also be utilised across the borders of Hungary. Another key objective is to broaden access to entities and programmes engaged in career orientation activities related to STEM fields available in Hungary. This contributes to the promotion of research and development careers among primary and secondary school students, encourages students to pursue scientific paths, and, in the long term, helps increase the number of students and professionals in STEM disciplines. A particularly important aspect – through re-granted funding – is to promote gender equality within the various scientific fields, therefore the Priority Call also aims to encourage the active participation of women in STEM activities.

By the deadline of 1 August 2025, one application for funding was submitted to the Priority Call, with a funding request of HUF 1,646,416,000, which, based on the recommendation of the Innovation Board, received a positive funding decision from the funding organisation.
