In cooperation with hospitals and other healthcare service providers, incubators are tasked with advancing solutions to the prototype stage or to market entry, as well as to the point of securing the substantial additional capital investment required to reach the scale-up phase. The ultimate objectives include improving the standard, efficiency and quality of healthcare services, thereby increasing patient satisfaction, to which solutions optimising hospital and other care delivery operations and processes also contribute.

Let us unpack these three words: who the NCPs are, why coordination among them is needed, and how the establishment of an office represents a step forward. We discussed these questions with the coordinator of the Hungarian Horizon Europe National Contact Point (NCP) network, Dóra Fekete Pivarcsiné, and the Head of the Department for International Cooperation, Dr Borbála Schenk.

The National Research, Development and Innovation Office will provide the domestic funding for participation through a system similar to the previous one but with much greater flexibility. In its already approved 2026 call portfolio, the Office has allocated approximately HUF 2.7 billion for this purpose.

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:02:00 +0100 http://rss.nkfih.gov.hu/main.php?folderID=13821&objectID=5659001 The purpose of the ADVANCED subprogram is to support experienced and excellent researchers with an independent research group and outstanding publication activity, being internationally acknowledged experts in their scientific field; the basic research project implements a timely, novel, and relevant research plan and significantly develops the research team, including the strengthening of research capacity through the integration of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. Wed, 28 Jan 2026 16:45:00 +0100 http://rss.nkfih.gov.hu/main.php?folderID=13821&objectID=5659000 The purpose of the STARTING subprogram is to support outstanding early-career researchers with postdoctoral experience in acquiring independent project leadership experience as they move into the next stage of their research careers. This will enable them to build their own research groups around promising research topics, while also involving early-stage researchers working towards a PhD degree in the research.
