Institute For Hungarian Unity<br />
Established in 2023, the Institute for Hungarian Unity analyzes the<br />
basic elements of national identity - and the threats to it - to convey<br />
and place them in the public consciousness in a modern form that<br />
can be interpreted, thematized, and built upon for younger generations.<br />
It’s research strategy is to survey, analyze, present, and educate the public about the foundations<br />
of Hungarian culture in both Hungary and the diaspora, various community-preserving efforts, the<br />
situation of the Hungarian minorities throughout the world, and Hungary’s contemporary cultural<br />
heritage. The institute works in cooperation with other <strong>MCC</strong> institutes and other research centers in<br />
related fields, while also maintaining a constant public dialogue. At the same time, the institute raises,<br />
researches, and analyzes the problematic issues of memory politics that determine Hungarian identity,<br />
that are often overlooked in contemporary public and intellectual discussions.<br />
The Institute for Hungarian Unity objectively researches, intentionally avoiding ‘fantasy and lyricism’,<br />
to present widely - in films, exhibitions, and books - the cohesive force that ensures and makes the intellectual<br />
independence of a nation, the basis of all other layers of sovereignty, crisis-resistant.<br />
The director of the Institute is Dr. Gábor Margittai, literary historian and documentary filmmaker.<br />
