he new cooperation with the Faculty of Health of the University of Miskolc offers an opportunity for the two institutions to mutually enrich the educational and research opportunities of the wider region, including third mission and social development activities, said the Rector of the University of Miskolc prior to the signing of the cooperation agreement. Prof. Dr. Zita Horváth stressed that the university's roots in Selmecbánya also oblige the institution to support Hungarian higher education beyond the border and to contribute to the preservation of the Hungarian language, culture and science.

Speaking on the details of the partnership, Dr. Emőke Kiss-Tóth, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Miskolc, said that the institutions will give priority to educational activities within the framework of the cooperation, with special attention to the possibilities of developing the training offer, the "double degree". Joint research could be launched in areas of mutual interest in the fields of economics, social and health sciences, with particular emphasis on health promotion, health tourism, balneology and health social work.
