The Institutes for Agricultural Research and Educational Farm (IAREF) are a unit of the University of Debrecen specialized for the agricultural research and education. IAREF and its legal predecessors have always played a central role in Hungarian higher education for 140 years in the fields of agricultural sciences and economics. The University of Debrecen is the only higher education institution in Hungary which has 3 research institutes: the Research Institute of Karcag, the Research Institute of Nyíregyháza and the Debrecen Educational Farm and Regional Research Institute.
Through various research projects in the last two years IAREF has been awarded 500-600 million HUF to implement projects in consortium with various companies. Besides those, scientific projects financed by research contracts are also continuously conducted in the fields of crop production, plant breeding, horticulture and animal husbandry. The AGR_PIAC projects that incorporate research of food sciences and plant breeding, are significant. IAREF has several Hungarian and international partners, including higher education institutions, research institutions, large as well as small and medium-sized enterprises and companies.
The research activities of the Institutes for Agricultural Research and Educational Farm also contributed that the University of Debrecen was included in the top 200 institutions in the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings in the field of agriculture.
At the 25th anniversary of Farmer-Expo, the Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture awarded a special prize to the Research Institute of Karcag for its innovative scholarly output, which provided research that can be utilized in practice by farmers. In 2015 one of the researchers was awarded the National Excellence Award by the Zoltán Magyary Board.
