Richter Gedeon Plc. and KOKI have been working together successfully for decades, but on 5 April 2024 they held their first joint, and international, press conference. 

We are a neuroscience research institute, and we all agree that there is no innovation without basic research. But that doesn't mean we don't have people who contribute to making this basic research even more effective through instrument and software development. Take Femtonics, for example!

Balázs Hangya presented the first results of his ERC Proof of Concept grant, awarded in May 2023, at the 1st Mouse-to-human Workshop at KOKI on 16 February 2024. The audience came not only from Budapest but also from the countryside.

The main objectives set by the new President of HUN-REN, Balázs Gulyás, are to strengthen scientific and innovation capacities and to increase the social, economic, and intellectual impact of research and innovation results. To achieve these goals, a new research strategy is needed, which requires knowledge of the current situation of HUN-REN's 49 research institutes and their performance in international comparison. 

HUN-REN has invited researchers of world renown to undertake this major work, and the survey will be carried out in the first third of this year.
