Govt wants more international students, researchers

Zoltan Balog told a conference that during the new six-year European Union development period, the majority of resources to promote mobility in higher education will be used on international study programmes and internships lasting at least 3 months, in keeping with EU targets. In addition to the existing scholarship schemes, including Erasmus+, CEEPUS, Stipendium Hungaricum and Campus Hungary, a flexible scholarship programme is planned to be developed to cater for Hungarian and international students, researchers and professionals in more fields of science than what was previously available, he said.
