New technologies in support of creativity and innovation

The strategic background of using new technologies is National Digitalisation Strategy 2022-2030 (Nemzeti Digitalizációs Stratégia 2022-2030). Its overall objective

'is to ensure that Hungary identifies and leverages the potential of digitalisation in the fields of economy, education, research, development and innovation, as well as public administration, thus contributing significantly to the country's competitiveness and the well-being of its citizens'.

While the strategy involves digitalising certain cultural goods, its most relevant part relates to competence development. Its chapter on digital competence includes 

  • developing digital pedagogical methodologies and teacher training,
  • integrating AI,
  • machine learning, and
  • data-driven innovations into education while supporting international collaboration. 

The chapter also enhances digital tools and competence development by aiming to upgrade IT infrastructure, expand hybrid learning solutions, and launch initiatives like the 'Digital Teaching Assistant' programme to involve students in digital education support.

Facilitating access to culture through new technologies

The Digitalisation Strategy of Public Collections (2017-2025) [Közgyűjteményi Digitalizálási Stratégia (2017-2025)] is the most important strategic document regarding digital access to culture. The strategy is also cross-referred in the Digital Success Programme. The strategy's vision on digitalisation is a constant operation involving the entire system of public collections, which, instead of institutional needs, focuses on

  • collective needs,
  • efficiency and
  • accessibility.

The strategy aims to improve the interdependence of education and the content provided by public collections, and the strategy generally places a strong emphasis on education (particularly public education) to provide resources for teaching. The target groups of the Strategy (in addition to the entire population) are those working in public education and disadvantaged people.
