In addition to these two higher education institutions, the Eötvös Loránd Research Network Veterinary Research Institute is the third member of the consortium.
The development is being implemented with the support of the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Plan under the Széchenyi Plan Plus program.
The establishment of the National Laboratory for Infectious Animal Diseases, Antimicrobial Resistance, Veterinary Public Health and Food Chain Safety is of major public health and national economic importance, the Communication said.
Hungary has a large livestock population, which makes rapid and effective detection, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases a priority.
