Hankó: Government values all Hungarian talent
Balázs Hankó, the minister for culture and innovation, said the Hungarian government values all Hungarian talent and is committed to running a talent management system that supports and improves Hungarian talent around the world. Speaking at the 'Talent's Talk 2025' event in Vienna, Minister Hankó said the government has allocated 400 million forints (EUR 990,000) for the next academic year's Stipendium Peregrinum scholarship scheme for Hungarian students who have applied to the world's best universities. Meanwhile, Minister Hankó said the Pannonia scholarship programme has given more than 3,000 young Hungarians the chance to gain experience at Europe's and the world's leading universities over the past semester. The government has also increased funding for young Hungarian researchers this year to 40 billion forints from 19 billion, the minister said. He noted that Hungary's aim is to have a university among the world's top 100 institutions by 2030, and for Hungary to be among the ten most innovative countries in the European Union.

Pannonia Program helps 3,000 Hungarians to study at world's leading universities
Minister Hankó said the scheme was designed to resolve issues around the Erasmus European higher education program. Balázs Hankó, the minister of culture and innovation, said that in its first semester, the government's Pannonia Program offered an opportunity to some 3,000 Hungarian students to study at the world's leading universities. Speaking on public radio on Tuesday, Minister Hankó said the scheme was designed to resolve issues around the Erasmus European higher education program, adding that foreign partners of Pannonia fully accepted Hungarian credits, while students are granted scholarships of 1.6 million forints (EUR 4,000) as opposed to 1 million forints under Erasmus. Hungarian universities have ties to 4,045 universities across the world, which serve as a good basis for the scheme, the minister said. 'Hungarian universities can make direct contact with other universities and will be more familiar with each other's profile and curriculum … they can select partners from the whole world not just from Europe,' he said.
