There are hundreds or thousands of Hungarian scientists in the United States. Many of them have been working in the U.S. for decades; others have been there only recently. Many of them have become very successful in their scientific field; some others have not only achieved remarkable results, but have also been able to achieve business success. They brought their basic knowledge from Hungary and found many opportunities in the US that do not exist in other parts of the world. The combination of knowledge provided by the Hungarian educational system and the conditions offered by the U.S. research and scientific enterprise is a distinct characteristic of most of these scientists.
For this reason, the Around the World in Science – Hungarian Scientist in the US project was launched. The goal is to create a video archive where a collection of interviews with these scientists is available. The work started in 2021, and the 14 films already completed are available in Hungarian on the Magyar tudósok – USA Youtube channel.
