Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences
Institute of Aquaculture and EnvironmentalSafety,
Department of Aquaculture
The Hungarian University of Agricultural and Life Sciences (MATE) is the largest agriculture and life sciences-oriented higher education institution in Hungary, founded in 2021. Its legal predecessor was the Szent István University, which has a long history dating back several decades.The Institute of Aquaculture and Environmental Safety (MATE-AKI) is one of the largest institutes of MATE, which was awarded the title of "Centre of Research Excellence" by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) in 2022. The Institute has an extensive teaching portfolio across the entire higher education curriculum (BSc, MSc and PhD levels) and is also active in adult education (continuing professional development). The existing R&D base and infrastructure provide excellent opportunities for both basic research and applied (industrial) research and experimental development to address practical needs and solve practical problems.
