National Laboratory of Infectious Animal Diseases, Antimicrobial Resistance, Veterinary Public Health and Food Chain Safety
Browse by
The establishment of the National Laboratory (NL) of Infectious Animal Diseases, Antimicrobial Resistance, Veterinary Public Health and Food Chain Safety is of particular importance from the point of view of public health and national economy. The large number of farm animals in our country, as well as the year-by-year increase in income from this, make the rapid and effective detection, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases an important priority. In the spirit of the One Health principle, the health protection of those who consume animal products is extremely important, in the development of which NL also plays a role. As the only veterinary training institution in Hungary, ÁTE plays a key role in ensuring the supply of researchers and teachers. The recognition, prevention and treatment of infectious animal diseases will be even more important in the future than before, with the growing national economic importance of the sector and the growing demand for high-quality animal products. In order to achieve the above goal, NL provides research-development-innovation as well as practice-oriented higher education capacity, so it is maximally compatible with component B of Hungary’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (highly qualified, competitive workforce). In addition to the fact that our main goal is to set up a NL that works closely with industrial partners and other partner institutions in the long term, by the end of the project period we plan to market several products and services that are partially unique and innovative and partially fill gaps in the domestic context. Depending on their nature, we publish our research results in the form of protection/patent, or we plan to publish them in prestigious, international journals in a freely accessible format and make them available to society.
