TTK Research Centre for Natural Sciences

The Eötvös Loránd Research Network has established both national and international scientific achievements and produced values in Hungarian and universal science by uniting excellence in research, authenticity in science and commitment to society. As the only full-time institution of Hungarian research network, we endeavour to undertake a primary role in the cause of public welfare and founding the future, based upon domestic research traditions, by conducting discovery research promising significant achievements on an international scale and valuable scientific results.

In virtue of its Deed of Foundation, the Research Centre for Natural Sciences (TTK) has carried out multidisciplinary research activities in natural sciences, in the fields of enzymology, organic chemistry, cognitive neuroscience and psychology, as well as materials- and environmental chemistry.

Four institutes of the research centre – namely, the Institute of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, the Institute of Enzymology, the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology, and the Institute of Organic Chemistry – have given priority to disciplines that may be interpreted as three independent entities in the dimensions of human, material and environment. The interaction of these systems has defined the disciplines in a wider sense that are associated with scientific mission of the Research Centre for Natural Sciences.
