Talent is a national treasure of Hungary, and talent support is a national issue; nevertheless, the knowledge of talented Hungarian young people and adults is utilised to a much lower degree than would be warranted by the interests of the country. The outstanding importance of talent support, however, is being given increasing attention nationally. Talent support has made its way to the public and higher education acts; the National Talent Fund was created under a 20-year National Talent Programme passed by Parliament, and 270 thousand citizens offered 1% of their ‘discretionary’ (given to a civil organisation of their choice) personal income tax; the Hungarian Genius Programme and the Talent Bridges Programme relying on its results is in progress, and non-governmental initiatives (foundations, corporate and municipal supports) also play a substantial role.

MTA SZTAKI NSIT is the main developer of public web portals for the program:
