In 1958 two brilliant academic scientists Sándor Belák and Géza Láng launched this event at the former Agricultural Academy in Keszthely. Since then the conference has been held regularly. In the past years our conference continued to flourish; in 2018 145 oral and poster papers were presented in 14 sessions. The theme of this year’s conference is:

Innovation challenges in the 21st century

Patron: Dr. Zoltán Birkner
President of the National Research, Development and Innovation Office

Innovation is crucial and its importance is unquestionable. It moves the economy and elevates the various actors or lets them sink. The Egyptian pyramids, the Great Wall of China, the Gothic churches, the steam engine and the Moon landing are all the results of successful innovation. The 21st century is no exception; innovation is still the key to success. We need to find answers to the innovation challenges, and what is more we need to anticipate them in order to be ahead of our competitors. The goal is not a mindless race but cooperation through healthy competition, which will result in ’win-win‘ relationships.
