With this, he added, the Medical University of Budapest, which changed its model this year, achieved the second largest improvement in ranking among European universities.

He added that by 2022, the 650 billion euro higher education budget, supplemented by the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and the $310 billion annual framework for science parks, already represents 1.7 percent of GDP.
