1. Visiting Statesmen and Scholars Lectureship Program

The Institute has a distinguished record in bringing Hungarian statesmen (with strong academic credentials) to the University of Toronto. Our previous guests include the Hungarian President, Árpád Göncz, the Foreign Minister, Géza Jeszenszky, several ministers, and the secretaries of state for foreign affairs. Visiting Statesmen can provide an insight into both the political and social mechanisms at work in reshaping the region of Central Europe and their effect on security and socio-economic issues. We have also invited academics whose works have been influential in advising policy makers, including Anders Aslund, adviser to both the U.S. and Ukrainian governments. The HRIC intends to expand its successful Visiting Statesmen and Scholars Lectureship program to allow increased number of visits to, as well as prolonged stays at, the University of Toronto. Visits consist of both a lecture and lecture series for students and faculty, and an opportunity for more informal meetings with these influential guests by the faculty as well as individuals and organisations from the community outside the University.

Goal: $750,000
