CONFERENCE HELD MARKING NEUMANN MEMORIAL YEAR

 

The government aims to turn Hungary into the fastest developing knowledge hub of central Europe by 2030, the state secretary for innovation and higher education said on Tuesday, at a conference held to mark the Neumann memorial year. “Our job is to provide the circumstances and the supportive environment necessary to produce the John von Neumanns of the future,” and so the government is focusing on universities and on grasping every opportunity to make progress, Balázs Hankó told the conference at the pioneer computer scientist’s alma mater, the Budapest-Fasor Evangelic Secondary School, held to celebrate the 120th birth anniversary of the mathematician.
