Israel?s ambassador to Hungary Aliza Bin-Noun and consul Dorit Nachum Zats were present at the signing of the agreement which runs until 2014.
Scholarship programmes represent an important part of the cooperation. Support provided by Hungary from the Pool scholarship scheme can be used in graduate, post-graduate, Ph.D. and research training in any subject. Israel offers annual scholarships for one academic year and for summer courses by the Ulpan Language School to Hungarian students, teachers and researchers in public and higher education.
About a thousand Israeli students come to Hungary on exchange programmes each year.
Further details on the scholarships are available at www.scholarship.hu and www.mfa.gov.il.
