At Eötvös Loránd University, with support from the European Union, researchers carried out a groundbreaking study to better understand how the human brain is adapting to the fast-paced, information-filled world we live in today. Using cutting-edge tools from neuroscience, psychology, and genetics, the team explored how modern life affects our minds and bodies. Today’s world is packed with constant digital stimuli—emails, notifications, news, pictures, and noise. According to the researchers, we’re being exposed to more

Homelessness is not just a housing issue; it is a complex social challenge with economic, health, and mental dimensions. In 2019, the Shelter Foundation launched the Home-Finder project with the help of European Union funding. Throughout the 27-month program, 15 homeless individuals living in public spaces were provided with housing alongside intensive social support. The Housing First approach is based on the idea that achieving lasting change is difficult without a stable home. If someone

The aim of the EU project implemented by the Contact Foundation was to help unemployed and inactive people return to the world of work and remain in stable employment. For this purpose, they created individual development plans, provided labor market counseling, and offered various support services. The development was part of a support program that supplemented the labor market activities of the National Employment Service by involving non-governmental organizations, enabling the outreach and employment of

The completed road encourages the settlement of new businesses and promotes the strengthening of local economic activity. Considering the location of the settlement, the proximity of the M1 motorway and the county seat, such an investment can not only have a local impact but can also serve the economic strengthening of the region on a regional level and in the long term. Domestic SMEs constitute the development potential of the Hungarian economy, yet in terms

Everyone deserves a second chance—especially when it comes to education. The Belvárosi Tanoda project’s aim was to provide real support to those young people who, for some reason, have dropped out of the school system but are ready to start over. The initiative focused on personalized development and community building. The “School Desk Reloaded—Support for Second Chance Programs” application, as part of the Széchenyi 2020 Program, supported the reintegration of young people without qualifications, who

The Housing First application was announced to support projects that assist the social and labor market integration of homeless people. The initiative is based on the serious problem of homelessness in Hungary, characterised by a growing proportion of people living on the streets and challenges to the existing care system. The current institutional capacity to help people leave street life is limited. This has led to the need for new solutions. The programme aimed to

Helium has numerous forms of use: it is applied as a filling material for balloons and airships, as well as in its liquid state as a coolant, for example in superconducting magnets. The Helium Liquefaction Plant has been operating at the Department of Physics of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME-FTK) since 1994. We have all known helium since childhood, as it made colorful balloons float to

Within the framework of the Competitive Central Hungary Operational Programme, several universities received non-refundable grants to strengthen their research infrastructure. Among them, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) secured funding for the creation of an atmospheric flows laboratory. Wind tunnels are used for modeling various engineering tasks. They contribute to expanding theoretical knowledge while allowing practical testing of specific cases. The goal of establishing the Atmospheric Flows Laboratory was to create a wind
