2003 Act XCIII on the Day of Hungarian Science
The National Assembly considers the role of science in society to be of outstanding importance, and the activity carried out for the cultivation and development of science to be worthy of recognition and exceptional support. It trusts that Hungary’s accession to the European Union will enhance the already successful contribution of Hungarian researchers and scientists to the growth of humanity’s knowledge and understanding. It pays tribute to our predecessors who contributed to the development of Hungarian science. Therefore, it enacts the following law:1. § The National Assembly declares November 3—the day on which, in 1825, István Széchenyi offered one year’s income from his estates for the purpose of founding the Hungarian Learned Society, thereby making possible the establishment of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences—as the Day of Hungarian Science.
2. § This law shall enter into force on the day of its promulgation.
