One of the leading figures in higher-dimensional algebraic geometry – János Kollár, an external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, receives the János Bolyai International Mathematics Award at a formal ceremony

The prestigious award is presented by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences every five years to the author of an outstanding mathematical monograph published anywhere in the world and in any language during the preceding 15 years, presenting the author’s own original results and methods of groundbreaking significance. The author’s previous scientific achievements are also taken into account. The committee responsible for selecting the recipient awarded the prize to János Kollár for his book Families of Varieties of General Type. According to the committee, Kollár’s results have had an invaluable impact on modern complex algebraic geometry.

A unified Hungarian research network under the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) could be established as early as October – Joint press release from the Ministry of Science and Technology and MTA

On 14 July, the leadership of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences met at the Academy’s headquarters to discuss the establishment of a unified Hungarian research institute network and a proposed timetable for its implementation. Based on both the previous and latest round of discussions, the Ministry will draft legislation for the reorganisation and submit it for public comment in early September. The legislation is scheduled to take effect by the end of October, which means that the research network – which was separated from the Academy in 2019 – could be reunited with MTA before the end of this year.

Karolina Lendák-Kabók, a lecturer in the Department of Minority Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), has been researching ethnic groups living in Vojvodina and mixed marriages for many years. She first examined the topic as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow, before placing it in a broader regional context: with the support of the János Bolyai Research Fellowship, she analysed mixed Hungarian–Serbian families in Hungary and mixed Hungarian–Serbian families in Serbia. In her current research project, funded by the Lendület (Momentum) Programme, she is exploring the subject from a historical perspective.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its presence felt in every aspect of life, and this trend is only expected to accelerate in the future. The legal profession is no exception, though alongside new opportunities, AI may also entail significant risks. For this reason, the legal profession must prepare now for the challenges posed by AI. This goal underpins the research conducted by Boldizsár Szentgáli-Tóth, senior research fellow at the Institute for Legal Studies of the ELTE Centre for Social Sciences, researcher at the National University of Public Service, and adjunct lecturer at Eötvös Loránd University, together with his colleagues. Their work has received support through the Lendület (Momentum) Programme.
