Tuesday saw the continuation of the University of Dunaújváros Science Week, a summary of which can be found below.
The second day was dedicated to the Institutional Conferences.
Starting at 9 am, the University of Dunaújváros and the Hungarian National Bank, in the framework of the "University Network for Sustainable Development" Horizontal Programme, organised an international conference entitled "Renewable Economics". Krisztina Sitku, assistant lecturer, presented that the European higher education governance reforms of the last two decades have been motivated by the increased accountability of universities to their stakeholders, while the need to demonstrate their contribution to social development and to capture their regional innovation impact are still valid higher education policy and funding expectations at national and European level.
