The call aims to provide funding to experienced, talented and internationally acclaimed researchers and research group leaders, having outstanding publication performance and eager to further develop their successful discovery research topic. The call is to promote the progress of scientific excellence, and thus increase the international recognition of Hungarian researchers and research institutions.

Available budget

In the period 2022-2026, the Ministry of Innovation and Technology allocates a combined budget of HUF13.5 billion from the NRDI Fund for the programme of the thematic research projects (K_22), the young researchers’ and postdoctoral excellence programmes (FK_22, PD_22) and the programmes of thematic research projects based on Hungarian–Austrian or Hungarian–Slovenian bilateral cooperation (ANN_22 and SNN_22).

Amount of funding

According to the call, HUF 48 million for maximum 48 months can be requested for each project. If the duration of the project is shorter, requested funding should be decreased on a pro rata temporis basis. Apart from remuneration and related taxes payable by the employer, certain tangible costs are also eligible, as well as overhead costs up to 10%, and costs of acquisition of scientific information and Open Access publication up to 10% of the direct project costs. The implementation of K type projects can involve participating researchers, technical staff and students.

Duration of the project

The maximum project duration is 48 months. Projects shall commence between 1 September and 1 December 2022. The earliest date for reporting costs is the project start date specified in the funding agreement.

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.
