Research activities of the Institutes for Agricultural Research and Educational Farm involve the entire agricultural sector. Research is carried out on the field of animal husbandry, crop production, horticulture, environmental management, nature conservation, wildlife management, food science, quality assurance and natural sciences. Multiple million HUF of project funding is awarded to us annually. Most of these grants finance years of research work that is carried out in consortia, in cooperation with business companies.
A significant portion of our projects is implemented from EU funding. The most important are our 5 international projects that are supported through the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union. These research programmes involve multiple fields of research such as precision farming and land use, health food and living, integrated plant protection systems, improvement of the SME innovativeness of the food sector and habitat monitoring based on remote sensing data.
Our Institution cooperates with hundreds of domestic and international partners: higher education institutions, research institutions, large corporations and SMEs.
