- Innovation for competitiveness (sustainable growth, technology, industry, innovation);
- Science for our future (science for the Hungarian community, natural and environmental challenges, internationally recognized scientific results, utilisation of scientific results);

Thematic Excellence Programme 2020 – Funded institutions
The Thematic Excellence Programme 2020 provides nearly HUF 43.9 billion to 27 scientific institutions (higher education institutions and public research institutes) for 92 thematic research projects from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund.
This year’s programme integrates the Programme for Higher Education Institutions 2018-2019 and the Thematic Excellence Programme 2019. This way, the new integrated funding scheme for the year 2020 was open to applicants that received funding under one of these previous programmes.
The 2020 programme supports the implementation of thematic research projects based on the professional excellence of higher education institutions and public research institutes in order to
- develop a product, technology or service with a significant scientific or technical novelty;
- make the resulting product, technology or service commercially viable;
- improve the system of research criteria;
- attract more young people to research careers;
- increase the international embeddedness of the Hungarian research community;
- strengthen the research, development and innovation focus;
- ensure the social, economic and environmental use of research results and provide support for related initiatives;
- facilitate partnering with other actors in the RDI segment;
- increase the commercial or social use of the product, technology or service resulting from the thematic research project.

To ensure value-based professional evaluation of proposals arriving in large quantities from the fields of discovery and applied research and innovation, to assess professional reports of funded projects and to prepare policy opinions, the NRDI Office intends to expand its expert pool in all fields of expertise.
Professionals who have registered in the database of the NRDI Office can become responsible contributors, as independent peer-reviewers, to the evaluation process in which the professional quality, novelty content and commercialisation perspectives of the proposals as compared to the requested funding should be assessed as core considerations.
The registration process can be initiated through the registration form of the NRDI Office’s website. Registration is continuously open.
Requested data within the expert registration form include:
- personal data, contact details (necessary for contracting review assignments);
- classification of professional skills and competencies and research areas (to get review invitations fine-tuned to your field of expertise);
- topics of the previously reviewed proposals;
- present and past jobs, interest networks (in order to pre-screening of conflicts of interest in a given rview assignment), education, scientific titles, most important publications and intellectual works demonstrating your professional experience;
- language skills.
Professionals once registered in the database of experts may be invited by the NRDI Office to review submitted proposals, to assess professional reports of funded projects and to contribute to policy opinions.
Each proposal is reviewed by several independent experts at the same time. Experts selected from the database to review proposals, to assess professional reports and facilitate expert opinions will be contracted by the NRDI Office on a case-by-case basis. When concluding such a contract experts must declare that the review assignment is not obstructed by any conflict of interest whatsoever. Depending on the competition type, written expert reviews must be prepared in 15-28 work days and submitted electronically via the online review portal of the NRDI Office.

A key objective of the 2026 Programme Strategy is to improve Hungary’s performance in the following areas: human resources (pipeline of researchers, number of doctoral students, number of students in higher education in STEM fields), the number and share of innovative enterprises (number and share of SMEs carrying out product and/or business process innovation), and intellectual property (patents, trademarks, utility model and design protections).
The table below presents the calls planned and announced from the NRDI Fund for the period between 2021 and 2026, broken down by year, including budget allocations.
