The new network, operating as part of the VAHAVA programme, is
scheduled to launch early next year to co-ordinate the work of over
100 institutes and teams engaged in climate-change research, he said.
The network will collect information about Hungarian and
international projects, co-ordinate interdisciplinary research and
lobby for the approval of new scientific projects, said Lang.
From 2003 to 2006, Lang directed the VAHAVA project, which
examined the domestic effects of climate change, and made
recommendations for a national strategy and a two-year programme for
climate changed, to be submitted to Parliament in early 2008.
