    HUNGARNET closely co-operates with the Hungarian National Information Infrastructure Development (NIIF) Programme that provides the organisational and financial frameworks for developing and maintaining the infrastructure, services, and pilot applications, as well as specific content generation for and within the academic and research community.

    The NIIF Programme is executed/co-ordinated by the NIIF Institute (NIIFI), an organisation operating under the umbrella of the government.

    The NIIF Programme is governed by a Programme Committee, consisting of high level officers of the participating ministries and some other bodies, including the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The NIIF Programme Committee operates also a Technical Committee.

  35. The organisational and operational embedding and environment of the NIIF Institute under the Ministry of National Development has been consolidated.

    The 2010-2011 technological reconstruction of our infrastructure (DF network, HPíC, storage, VC, etc.) has practically been completed.

    Discussions are going on with the related government bodies about integrating the, as yet separately operated, school network (primary and secondary schools) into the NREN (NIIF/Hungarnet).
  36. The Compendium has been serving as a major output of TERENA for many years.

    It is widely considered an indispensable resource of information about the NRENs and related national infrastructure components, service portfolios, user communities, organisational and financial frameworks, etc.

    The tradition of editing and publishing such a high value and highly appreciated collection of important, useful, and well exploitable information is to be continued.
