Where times and worlds meet: The Miskolc Gallery

The names István Kövesi and Dr. Sándor Petró are unlikely to ring a bell for most people. Yet these two men, working independently in the same era, began collecting art from entirely different backgrounds and motivations. They could not have known how long their historical moment would last, what fate awaited their collections, or that decades later their works would become central to a museum development funded by the European Union. History took an unexpected...

Strengthening flood protection

Flood protection along the Zagyva and Tisza rivers has reached another important milestone.

The project covered four key areas: three along the Zagyva River and one on the right bank of the Tisza. Its goal was to modernize the existing flood...

When curiosity shapes the future – A social cooperative building a social enterprise with children

What if children grew up seeing it as natural to ask questions, observe, and experiment—and in doing so also learned where food comes from, why nature matters, and how the world around them works? A Hungarian social cooperative built its EU-funded program on exactly this idea. At the heart of the “Curious Fruit” project, launched by the Bugyulófalva Skills Development Center Social Cooperative, was an already existing interactive science program designed for children aged 5–12:...

Easier access, faster healing

In any outpatient clinic, it is essential to have a sufficient number of well-trained medical professionals, modern medical and diagnostic equipment, and efficiently organized care processes. Equally important, however, is the condition, functionality, and usability of the building itself, and how well it meets the needs of the many patients who visit it. Accessibility, cleanliness, safety, energy efficiency, and overall comfort all contribute to ensuring that patients, doctors, and healthcare staff can focus entirely on...

Good practice in Hungarian aquaculture

The development of the Akasztó fish farm demonstrates how a traditional fish farm can become a true example of modern, sustainable aquaculture.

The investment strengthens the farm’s competitiveness while also addressing environmental challenges. One key element of the development was the modernization of feeding and storage infrastructure.

Is it really waste? – a new composting technology developed in Hungary

What happens if by-products generated in agriculture are treated not as a problem but as an opportunity? What if green waste and sewage sludge are not sent to landfills but instead returned to the natural cycle? A company based in Bonyhád set out to answer these questions—and by the end of a complex development program, it delivered tangible results. The goal of Human-Perspektiva Ltd. was to develop a new, innovative, nutrient-rich compost product using advanced...

Clean water in Koppányszántó is no fairy tale

There is a well-known tale about how essential salt is to everyday life. Perhaps no such fable has been written about water—simply because its importance is so obvious. Without water, there is no life. Around 60% of the human body is made up of water. It is the very medium of our biological functioning. Our cells, our blood, and all metabolic processes depend on it. Nutrients dissolve in water to reach our cells, and waste...

The solution is now local – A new nursery in Aldebrő

A community’s true strength is reflected in how it cares for its youngest members and the families raising them. In Aldebrő, this commitment has taken shape in the creation of a new family nursery — a long-standing goal for the village that now provides tangible support to parents of young children. The previous lack of nursery services posed serious challenges for local families, forcing many into long commutes and complicated daily arrangements. It is therefore...
