When ÉMI was founded, the regional units were established in cities
with bigger regional universities to allow for cooperation with higher
educational institutions and teachers, and to be able to demonstrate
construction material tests in practice alongside theoretical education.
ÉMI remains to be in close contact with universities, and in many cases
its regional laboratories are hosted within university campuses.
ÉMI’s leading researchers and renowned experts give regular lectures
at the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University of Budapest;
the Ybl Miklós Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the Szent
István University; and they are also in close contact with the tutors
of the Mihály Pollack Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology
at the University of Debrecen.
Besides their work in higher education, ÉMI’s professionals provide
assistance in secondary education as jury members at regional
and national professional competitions in construction organized by
technical and vocational schools.

Education
The expert work performed by ÉMI has been determinative ever since it
was established, and has been closely connected to the role it has played in
developing national and international standardization. Through performing
these tasks, ÉMI has built strong contacts with fire departments (today
encompassed by the National Directorate General for Disaster Management)
and the departments of the Ministry of Interior responsible for construction
issues. These institutions have involved ÉMI in wording regulations, legislation
and standards, and preparing research and development and infrastructural
schemes affecting the Hungarian construction industry.
ÉMI’s experts take part in energetics tenders and project preparations
falling under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Development (ÉMI’s
owner) in order to guarantee the consistency of construction requirements,
regulatory requirements and consumers’ needs in tender announcements. Such
preparatory works were the development of National Energy Strategy for the
Building Sector during 2013 and preparing a study about the lessons learnt
during the supervision of investments accomlished under the Hungarian Green
Investment Scheme.
While performing its tasks as a background institution and a source of R&D, ÉMI got connected to a number of professional
organizations in the construction industry. The collaboration with them was often made easier as a result of ÉMI’s
membership in the given organization. As in the case of its other activities, with its work performed in professional
organizations ÉMI intends to foster the development of the Hungarian construction industry, and the safety and livability
of our built environment.
