The COVID-19 epidemic has placed the importance of biotechnology in the spotlight: there is a fierce competitive race worldwide for the development of drugs and vaccines against the coronavirus. We feel justified in asking how does Hungary stand in the global competition for biotechnology research and development? What characterizes this activity in Hungary? Papers about this topic summarize the areas of R&D activities of biotechnology and discuss the economic weight and development trends of this sub-sector by making comparisons between the USA and Europe.

The OTKA FK 128232 research project examines the effects of international trade on climate change and environmental pollution, with special emphasis on agro-food trade and the influential role of agricultural activities. The aim of the research project is to formulate proposals for decision-makers and policies to reduce the environmental impact of agricultural trade. The research results may provide a basis for the development of future regional climate strategies and adaptation plans in agriculture and food trade at the national, European Union and international levels. The four-year research project takes place between 1 December 2018 and 30 November 2022.

The Pannon Breeding Programme provides a solution to problems caused by climate change. Within the framework of the programme, researchers seek a solution for developing plants, for both arable-land and urban environments, that are resistant to the extreme climatic conditions of the Pannonian region, all this implemented by using information systems and new methods.

Within the framework of the János Bolyai Research Scholarship of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, a three-year research project titled “The Situation of Certain Products with Geographical Indication in Hungary – A Competitive Approach” was conducted at Corvinus University between 2017 and 2020.

Why is there a need for a complementary family business strategy in addition to the SME strategy? There is no uniformly accepted definition of family businesses, either domestically or internationally.

At university, we rarely deal with what our students do outside the walls of the university or outside our immediate field of vision, and how this affects their performance at university. In the course of their individual life management practices, many factors influence, support or hinder their achievements in higher education.

The research project is aimed at examining the global competitiveness of agriculture under a consistent and comprehensive system based on international trade data.

The H2020 research programme titled Stength2Food is primarily aimed at examining the European Union’s food quality policy, its regulations on Community food procurement, and the concept of short supply chain, as well as at increasing the efficiency thereof.
