  5. Introduction • Research University: • 75% of the staff have scientific qualifications (highest rate among Hungarian universities) • Research staff: ~160 FTE • 234professors, with80 being member of theHungarian Academy of Sciences(20%of all academics) • 27research groups in collaboration with the HungarianAcademy of Sciences • Publications: ~3.500/year • Budget: ~86 million EUR(public university, the main sourceof its funding is the central government)

  6. RESEARCH REVENUE

  7. CAMPUSES • Rector’s Cabinet, Chancellery • Faculty of Law • BárcziGusztáv Faculty of Special Education • ELTE Lágymányosi Campus (Faculty of Informatics, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty of Science) • Faculty of Education and Psychology (KAZY, IZU) • Faculty of Primary and Pre-School Education • Trefort Gardens Campus (Faculty of Humanities) • University Library (Quaestura) • ELTE BEAC (Sports Club)

  8. OUTSIDE BUDAPEST • SZOMBATHELY CAMPUS: • From February 2017, Savaria Campus in Szombathely with anoutstanding infrastructure for higher education. • Main areas of education: mechanical engineering, sports science and health promotion, and pedagogical training. • Mechanical engineering–Dual education systemwith the prominent stakeholders of regional industry • MARTONVÁSÁR interdisciplinary researchinstitute climate-adaptive and sustainableagriculture

  9. Research excellence Increasingnumber of newresearchgroups: • Research groupswithHungarianAcademy of Sciences • 14 MOMENTUM groups • 27 ELTE-HAS researchgroups lead by ELTE professors • Excellence researchgroupsfoundedbythe National Research, Development and Innovation Office • Internationallyfoundedresearchgroups • 3 ERC StGresearchgroups • 15granted H2020 projects (mostlyfaculty of Science)

  10. University-industrycollaboration University is mainly responsible for basic research, butthere are areas–e.g. informatics, biology– where co-operationwiththeindustrialpartnersresultsinmarketableproducts

  11. University-industry collaboration • R&D contracts (servicesforcompanies) • Flagshipprojects: • FIEK – molecularbiomarkers • Research Excellence Programme: • Diagnostics and therapy • Materialscience • Astro- and particlePhysics • Problem solvingsocietalsystems • ELTE is a fullmember of EIT Digital • Grant programsforindustry-university R&D cooperation

  12. Intellectual property regulation • The moral rights concerning IP (includingsoftware) belongs to the researcher • The economic rights to IP belongs to the universityifthe IP have been created in the course of work duties, in the course of contractual or employment relationship • The ownership of the IP can be shared according to the contract between ELTE and the partner/company • Researchers are obliged to inform ELTE about new possible inventions • Innovation Center must be involvedineverygrantapplicationinthecase of innovationpotential

  13. Handling of inventions • Decisionontakingpossession of IP, patenting and signinglicenseagreementswill be made bytheBoard of Inventions(within 90 days) • Members: 8 faculties’ vice-deans, vice rectorforscience, chancellor, director of Innovation Center • Meeting or online voting (faster) • ELTE is obligedto patent (ifpossible and proposed) andutilize • ELTE willcovertheexpensesrelatedtotheindustrialpropetylegalprotection • Distribution of income: 60% toinventors; 20% toInnovationRiskFund; 10% to TTO; 10% totheDepartment (wheretheinventorsareemployed)

  15. Role of the Innovation Center • supports the establishment of start-up and spin-offcompanies • supportsthecommercialisation of inventions and know-how • helpsfindingpartnersforresearchand innovationprojects • providesfunding and supportforintellectualpropertyprotection (involvingexperts) • delivers training programs and workshops for theresearchers • introduces an innovationintensive approach in the education

  16. Technologytransfer and commercialization • 2017: signedIP license agreements: 10 • 2017: signed technology transfer agreements: 2 • 2015 – 2018: institutional revenue from IP utilization:50-100.000 EUR. • 2014 – 2017: ~ 80 R&D assignments were given to theuniversity; in 17 cases, the client was an international partner. R&D and innovation prizes • Researcher of the Year Prize (since 2009) • The InnovativeStudent Idea Contest

  17. Figures of intellectual property management and exploitation of research results

  18. Technology transfer and commercialization *Most companies operate in the field of natural sciences • 3 in biotechnology, • 1 in IT, • 1 in pharmacy, • 1 in social sciences.

  19. Innovation-related activities • Start-up course for ELTE students (since 2016) aimingto make the entrepreneurial mind-set and businessthinking available for non-business students (2016-2018: 5 courses, 137 participants). • R&D prizes and activities: Researcher Of The Year Prize(since 2009) torecognizeexceptionalaccomplishments and awardresearcherswhousetheirscientificknowledgeforthe benefit of ELTE. • InnovativeStudent Idea Contest(since 2010) toboostinnovationrelatedactivitiesamongstudentst. 15-30 applicantsteachyear, prizemoney being awardedtothebestteams. • ELTE Innovation Day (since 2010): The event is organisedyearly, being a great platform to raise attention of attendees to new technologies. It is one of the biggest Hungarian University addressed platform forinnovative technologies emerging from academy and industry in Hungary.

  20. VISION • Universitiesasinnovationhubsintheecosystem • ELTE innovationdevelopmentplan (12 measuresoractions) • Growingnumber of inventions and patents • International and domesticcooperations (AT – START:IP; ASU-USA; ETTF-HU; etc.) • Continuouslearning(diverseecosystems, Barcelona, Berlin, Estoniawith ERASMUS+,…)
