Novel method developed at KOKI further improves efficiency and reliability of cognitive experiments on rodents
The Lendület Laboratory of Systems Neuroscience of the ELKH Institute of Experimental Medicine (KOKI), led by Balázs Hangya, has developed a novel device capable of fully automated training of laboratory rodents that help researchers study cognitive functions including learning, memory,...
Explore, Verify, Predict: Genetic Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Variants Responsible for COVID-19 Cases in Hungary
Genetics research, aiming to identify SARS-CoV-2 variants responsible for pandemic COVID-19 cases, is a valuable tool to explore the geographical spread of the virus retrospectively, as well as to predict the presumable long-term effectiveness of vaccine candidates under development. A...
One of the key technologies for the first power plant-sized fusion reactor to be tested at the Centre for Energy Research
Hungarian researchers and companies will develop a machine protection system for the international fusion project ITER. The Shattered Pellet Injector is designed to quickly quench the fusion reaction before it can damage the inner walls. The project was made possible...
Network method reveals long-term sequence learning in birdsong
The sequential organization of birdsong has been studied on collared flycatchers by the researchers of the Evolutionary Ecology Group (ELKH Centre for Ecological Research, Hungary) and the Behavioral Ecology Group (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary). The results were published in...
SZTNH and ELKH partnership to render utilization of research findings more effective
On October 29, 2020, the management of the National Intellectual Property Office (SZTNH) and the Secretariat of the Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH) signed a framework cooperation agreement. The aim of the partnership is to support the social and economic...
Four of the 17 National Laboratories and one Research Laboratory led by an ELKH research site
Four National Laboratories and one Research Laboratory that are expected to largely contribute to Hungary’s economic development and increasing of its international competitiveness are being established under the leadership of one research center and two research institutes belonging to the...
Researchers at BRC have developed qualitatively new antibiotic molecules that have been shown to be effective against superbacteria
Frequent and inappropriate use of antibiotics poses a serious health risk. Multidrug-resistant bacteria, often referred to simply as “superbacteria” in the media, are resistant to several antibiotics, have become widespread and are responsible for many deaths worldwide. Hospitals and health...
Close to 5,000 employees at the state funded research sites of the ELKH research network to receive an average pay rise of 30% from November
The Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH) Secretariat has started the distribution of the additional funds provided by the government covering general operational costs and the salary increase at research sites belonging to the network. Researchers and employees working in other...
