Focus on the BME FIEK on the round table of V4 and UK experts

Hungary was represented by the Centre for Higher Education and Industrial Cooperation established at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics on the international event.

The British Embassy and the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NRDI Office) organised a round table discussion about enhancing cooperation between the industry and research organisations, with the involvement of RDI experts from the Visegrad Four (V4) countries and the UK recently. The V4 representatives talked about the common challenges resulting from the countries’ similar history (mainly the partnering difficulties between the research and industry sectors) and presented the new RDI programmes.

Hungary was represented by the Centre for Higher Education and Industrial Cooperation (BME–FIEK) established at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics on the initiative of the NRDI Office. Head of department and project segment manager Hassan Charaf and project director László Lengyel explained that the BME–FIEK is a model system in which complex industrial challenges are addressed by collaborating university faculties.
