The Science Expo, part of the World Science Forum in Budapest, launched on Thursday at the Museum of Fine Arts, featuring a lecture by Nobel Prize-laureate physicist Prof. Ferenc Krausz.
László Bódis, Deputy Secretary of State for Innovation, emphasized that the event aims to bring science closer to the public. “The aim is to convince as many young people as possible that a career in science and research is worthwhile. But this has to start early,” he said, highlighting the importance of practical experience.

The three-day free program, organized by the Ministry of Culture and Innovation, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the National Innovation Agency, and other institutions, includes presentations, round-table discussions, exhibitions, and experiments to foster interest in science and attract young talent.
Mr. Bódis noted that the Science Expo would feature leading Hungarian researchers and university professors, along with policymakers.
Prof. Ferenc Krausz, who will give a lecture on Saturday, will discuss how his work in physics is linked to medicine, making everyday life easier. László Bódis also praised the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Network, calling it the “flagship of the Hungarian research system.” The event will involve staff from research institutes in various activities.
The Secretary of State also addressed a draft law on the Hungarian Research Network, submitted to Parliament, aimed at enhancing performance and providing a long-term, predictable environment for researchers. Over the past ten months, international researchers have assessed the network’s strengths and challenges.
