The work of the National Policy Research Institute significantly contributed to the results of the State Secretariat for National Policy - the State Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office responsible for national policy spoke about this on Wednesday evening in Budapest, at the ceremony held on the occasion of the institute's 10th anniversary.

At the event, which had to be postponed last year due to the pandemic, Árpád Potápi emphasized that the State Secretariat has up-to-date information in almost all areas thanks to the research institute. In connection with the renovations of kindergartens in the Carpathian Basin, the staff of the institute showed that the number of Hungarian kindergarten and elementary school students increased in the Highlands, but they also contributed useful research to questions related to the activities of the Hungarian party running in the local government elections in Slovakia or the Serbian elections, said the state secretary. He added: the institute was able to appeal to the public beyond the border and in Hungary, as well as the young people. We can all be proud of their work - said Árpád Potápi.

Zoltán Kántor, the director of the National Policy Research Institute, which was established in 2011, emphasized the importance of the continuity of the national policy strategy, which has been based on solid foundations for 12 years, and the institute was also able to participate in its development.

The task of the institute is to strengthen Hungarian communities abroad, and it carries out scientific work that can also be put to good use in practice. Cooperation between science, politics and public administration takes place in the area. The institute researched issues of education, the family and the diaspora, presented its results in more than half a hundred publications and at a hundred events, the director explained. Zoltán Kántor also emphasized the importance of the cooperation between the institute, the state secretariat and Bethlen Gábor Alapkezelő Zrt.
