I wonder if you could help me regarding the following. I have been thinking for some time now about the possibility of attracting Hungarian scientists, specifically graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to conduct studies in Canada and particularly at our University here in Manitoba. We keep getting floods of application from students in China and I always wonder why no applicants from the former Eastern block countries. At the same time, I keep reading about the very dismal finical and economic situation for scientists in Hungary. If this is true, then it seems there must be many students and post-docs who would be willing to take the opportunity to spend a few years conducting studies and research outside of Hungary while the situation there becomes more favorable. I wonder if you could pass this message onto someone with whom I could discuss the possibility of our University becoming a place where Hungarians could come to undertake research training in physiology, neuroscience, endocrinology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, etc. . We already have a good community of Hungarian non-scientists here, which could serve as a support group for visiting students and scholars. What I envision is our University of Manitoba becoming a haven or a home away from home for Hungarians wishing to obtain some training outside their country. How all this would be arranged, advertised, funded etc is open to discussion. This is just my initial attempt to open a dialogue on the subject. Hope to hear from you soon J.I. Nagy PS.
