Introduction of the Research Group
ZKK operates as an organizational unit of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Center for University-Industry Cooperation. ZKK aims to help achieve the 2050 climate neutrality goal set in Hungarian law, as a knowledge center that stimulates various interdisciplinary collaborations. The Center was born out of the recognition that business and technological innovations will play a key role in the "green transition", which will not only offer opportunities for the research and innovation sector but can also become important tools for economic development by strengthening the domestic background industry. However, achieving the simultaneous goals of decarbonisation and economic development requires close cooperation between the technical and social sciences.ZKK will provide a platform for this cooperation with the aim of enabling Hungary to apply the key technologies and market organization solutions of the future in practice as soon as possible, building on the domestic innovation and knowledge base, but also taking advantage of the opportunities for international cooperation. The Center intends to contribute to this goal by addressing all actors in the sectoral value chains that are crucial for the success of decarbonisation.
