The National Institute of Criminology celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2010. This institution, which over the past half-century has won considerable acclaim in Hungary and internationally, aims to celebrate this important anniversary in a fitting manner, looking back over the past and forward to the challenges and tasks of the future. During the Anniversary Year between September 2009 and September 2010, we plan a series of events and programmes that will enable both specialists and laypeople in Hungary and abroad to become better acquainted with the work and staff of the institute. The events of the Anniversary Year are planned so as to honour the scientific achievements and innovations of the outstanding criminologists of recent times, and to seek out both future opportunities for cooperation and the paths along which the profession can progress.
