Three institutions of higher education \u2013 Semmelweis University among them \u2013 have signed a cooperation agreement with the Municipality of Budapest.<\/p>\n

Mayor Istv\u00e1n Tarl\u00f3s stated that it would be a mistake on the part of the city to not make use of the knowledge and research results that are in the universities\u2019 possession. \u201cThe current agreement is not merely a blank piece of paper; this formalised cooperation serves the improvement of our city. We seek out and welcome the universities\u2019 suggestions and count on their intellectual capacity in the course of our urban development work,\u201d he related. The mayor believes that having a strong capital city is essential if Budapest wishes to maintain its position as one of Central Europe\u2019s leading scientific centres, something for which the universities\u2019 knowledge is indispensable.<\/p>\n

Dr. Tivadar Tulassay, rector of Semmelweis University, asserted that the agreement has more than symbolic significance. \u201cIt is pleasing to know that the capital city is also proud that it has a reputable, nearly 243 year-old university operating within its boundaries. Although the possibility of cooperating had arisen several times in the past, only now has there been progress in this area,” he said.<\/p>\n

„An enormous task awaits the university and the city\u00a0 in the health care sector, owing to the reorganisation of the Hungarian hospital structure and patient care system, which is currently on the government\u2019s agenda,\u201d Rector Tulassay added.<\/p>\n

Dr. Szabolcs Anzelm Szuromi, rector of P\u00e1zm\u00e1ny P\u00e9ter Catholic University pointed out that \u201cthe individual sciences are not able to function without one another, nor can the city develop in the absence of meaningful cooperation.\u201d It is for this reason that the possibilities provided by the current agreements are so important, he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Tam\u00e1s M\u00e9sz\u00e1ros, rector of Corvinus University remarked on the significant contribution which higher education institutions make to the cityscape. \u201cIn addition to this, the question of how the more than 100,000 university students who study in Budapest live their day-to-day lives and the extent to which the city can utilise their knowledge is not a negligible one,\u201d Dr. M\u00e9sz\u00e1ros said, outlining the reasons why he considers the signing of the current document to be a significant step.<\/p>\n

The current agreement sets the foundation for cooperation and collective thinking in many fields, ranging from health care and information technology through economics and environmental protection.<\/p>\n
