CONSTRUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE CENTER REACHES MILESTONE

A Topping-out ceremony was held at the University of Miskolc to mark the stage of reaching the highest structural point of the new and unique European-level knowledge centre and archives currently under construction. The Centre for Academic Data Analytics and Archival Open Research Data Repository is expected to be completed by summer 2023.

Dr. Judit Varga, President of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation, said that the foundation stone of the project was laid in June last year, and now they can celebrate the significant results of the work. She  thanked all those involved in the construction and the daily work and efforts of those involved in the realisation of this unique European-level knowledge centre and archive, which is being implemented with state support of nearly HUF 10 billion.

Rector Prof. Zita Horváth said that the centre’s history began in 2017, when, as State Secretary for Higher Education, she came up with the idea of a knowledge centre that would go hand in hand with the renovation and rebuilding of the former university library.
