On 21 and 22 February, the UK Trade & Investment team in Budapest organised a two-day networking event. British Ambassador Jonathan Knott hosted a networking reception on Thursday 21 February at his residence, where British academics and companies along with the senior management of ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) Hungary and Hungarian scientists had a chance to meet and talk to each other. On the following day, distinguished professors and businessmen presented their fields of expertise to an audience of fellow professionals.

A year ago in London, UK Trade and Investment in association with the Science and Technologies Facilities Council hosted an 鈥淚nformation Day鈥� on business opportunities for British industry, arising from the Hungarian pillar of the ELI project. 皇冠体育app event allowed delegates to gain a better understanding of the Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) Facility.

皇冠体育app Hungarian seminar was a natural follow-up of the London event. Distinguished speakers provided an overview of this high-value project, followed by presentations of British companies on their wide range of products and one-to-one meetings at the end of the day.
