BZN’s Knowledge Management Centre offers project management activities that guarantee the successful implementation of national or international cooperation projects, where BZN participates as a subcontractor, consortium member or consortium leader.

The financing of the project is usually provided by a grant programme, which can be one of the following:

  • Structural Funds Operational Programmes
  • NKFIH Funds
  • Horizon Europe
  • Danube Transnational Programme
  • Central Europe Programme
  • Cross-Border Cooperation Programmes

If your company or institute wants to participate in a call for proposals but you lack the expertise or staff to do this, then it is worth visiting us before writing the grant proposal and consult us on how we could cooperate in the preparation or the management of the project.

Bay Zoltán Research Centre has successfully implemented about 80 international projects.

The projects were financed from grants. The tenders were most often financed by the EU’s R&D Framework Programmes, but we also led or participated in several international consortia in the EU’s Interreg programs, such as the South-East Europe, Central Europe or Danube Transnational programs.

We are proud that we were the 12th most successful R+D+I institution among the Hungarian applicants in the EU Horizon 2020 program.
