This is the basic concept constituting a background for all research areas wherefrom individual research topics, analyses and projects aim to explore different elements within the framework of INFOTA Research Institute working under the umbrella of the Foundation.
The core of INFOTA’s staff is made up of colleagues with Ph.D. degree, looking back to several decades of scientific research and lecturing, as well as experts entertaining significant business and public administration expertise, and/or middle and senior managerial experiences. Furthermore, the Foundation involves in its activities eminent experts of specific areas of information technology, talented gradual, post-gradual and Ph.D. students from the technical and/or economic faculties of several Hungarian universities and academies.
