Tamás Horváth, research professor at the University of Veterinary Medicine, has been included in the list of the world's most cited researchers. His name was not mentioned in the list in previous news reports because the ranking database lists Yale University as his primary institution, rather than the University of Veterinary Medicine. So instead of the four researchers previously reported, there are actually five Hungarian scientists on this year's list of the world's most cited researchers.

The list of the world's most cited researchers has been published again this year. Four Hungarian scientists (a pharmacologist, a bioinformatician, a psychologist and a physicist) have been included in the ranking of nearly 7000 researchers (two researchers from Semmelweis University and one each from ELTE and Centre for Energy Research).

Péter Nagy, research assistant professor at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), is the only Hungarian to win a grant in this year's European Research Council's excellence program for younger researchers.

From September 2023, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) will launch a new English-language bachelor training programme in physics and engineering, the first of its kind in Hungary, in response to the shortage of specialists in innovative companies.
