The new building complex will be based on the university's existing clinics and is closely linked to the development of the 8th district of Budapest, as it will facilitate the rehabilitation of an existing block in addition to the new buildings. The research centre complex will be built on plots bordered by Kőris, Diószegi, Dugonics and Kálvária streets. According to our plans, four new research buildings and an open, accessible, green inner park will be built as part of the block's redevelopment. A three-storey basement will be constructed below ground level to connect the building sections and provide parking and full logistical support. During the preparation process, we received feedback and suggestions from the public, which have been incorporated into the plans. These plans are subject to change as a result of the building permit process and further public feedback. Depending on the availability of funding, the investment may be realised in one or more successive construction phases, ideally starting in the first half of 2026. The research centre will focus on scientific and innovative developments.

The main functions and research areas of the new centre will include:

  • Networked/digital medicine and data-driven healthcare
  • Drug development and advanced drug therapies
  • Medical device development


The new centre will host primarily postgraduate training programmes of the university.
