Turning heat loss into a competitive advantage: innovation for more energy-efficient buildings

High-quality windows and doors can make a major difference to a building’s energy performance. However, even the best products will not work properly unless they are installed correctly. Poor fitting, thermal bridges and inaccurate fixing can all lead to greater heat loss and higher energy use over time. Herbavit Ltd. has developed a modern solution to this practical problem with support from the European Union. The project focused on launching the production of a new...

Teachers’ pay rise continues

The teachers’ pay rise will continue in 2026, with funding from both Hungary and the European Union.

Ponds, fish and modern solutions

The surface of the water is calm, and the fish move through it peacefully. The landscape feels quiet and undisturbed. But behind this peaceful scene, everyday work is constantly underway: feeding, harvesting, transport and all the routine tasks that make efficient fish farming possible. Today, traditional expertise must be supported by modern technology and well-organised operations. The modernisation of the Nagyatád Fish Farm, operated by V-95 Ltd., was supported by a project co-financed by the...

Turning an old area into new value in Mór

Almost every town has areas that gradually lose their former economic, tourism or community role over time. Mór was no exception. Today, however, one of the town’s previously underused areas has been transformed into a modern, sustainable urban space for both local residents and visitors. For many people, Mór is associated with its wine region and historic attractions. But the first impression of a town is often shaped by its overall atmosphere and how well-kept...

Protecting the hidden world beneath our feet

When we go hiking, we usually look at the mountain peaks, the views, or the quiet forest paths around us. But beneath our feet lies another, truly special world: a hidden network of underground passages and caves that has preserved Hungary’s natural treasures for thousands of years. A major nature conservation project was launched in the Duna-Ipoly National Park to protect these caves and underground habitats. The project covered nineteen caves and five artificial cavities...

Recovery becomes an adventure

Gergő walked cautiously down the hospital corridor, holding his mother’s hand tightly. He could already stand, but movements that had once been natural still felt difficult and tiring. He had been told they were going to a special therapy room, but he was not sure it would be any fun. By the end of the session, however, he was already asking when he could come back. At the rehabilitation unit of the Heim Pál National...

Modern technology helps make better use of corn in Monostorpályi

An EU-funded project provided the Monostorpályi-based business with an opportunity to expand its operations. The project mainly focused on strengthening the production of corn-based dry pasta. The goal was to increase annual production capacity by several hundred tonnes, which...
