As of February 1st, 2021 Szent István University no longer exists. Following a merger of SZIU with the University of Kaposvár, the Georgikon Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Pannonia and the Károly Róbert Campus of Eszterházy University on August 1st, 2020, a new merger took place last Monday when the National Agricultural Research and Innovation Centre (NAIK) was integrated into the university structure.
The new university is called Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (Magyar Agrár- és Élettudományi Egyetem – MATE). The university has five campuses: Buda (Budapest), Szent István (Gödöllő), Georgikon (Keszthely), Kaposvár (Kaposvár) and Károly Róbert (Gyöngyös) and instead of faculties, it is divided into 21 institutes.
Our team belongs to the Institute of Aquaculture and Environmental Safety, one of the largest institutes of the new university with approximately 150 employees and PhD students at 3 campuses. One of the constituent institutes of the former NAIK, the Research Institute for Fisheries and Aquaculture (HAKI) also belongs to our Institute now (renamed as a research center). The new Institute consists of 6 departments and one research center. Our team belongs to the Department of Aquaculture of which Ákos is the designated chair.
