After passing the prescribed examinations and successfully
defending his thesis, the candidate is awarded his PhD degree.
The journal Publications of the University of Miskolc offers an opportunity for
the rapid dissemination of research results. The first series was published at
the Sopron Royal Hungarian College of Mining and Forestry Engineering in 1929.
The series currently published covers the following fields: mining, materials
and metallurgical engineering, mechanics, natural sciences, law, economics,
humanities and social sciences.
In order to ensure the quick application of the newest results of science, R&D
and technology, and the evaluation and speeding up of innovation, an Innovation
and Technology Transfer Centre (ITTC) was established at the university in 1997.
Besides enhancing the efficiency of the intellectual potential of the
university, ITTC has the task of providing a wide range of services for new
small and medium-size companies and enterprises in the following areas: transfer
of expertise and technology, research and development, innovation, PR services,
expert and advisory services and conference organisation.
An example of the successful innovations of the university is the Universal
Multizone Crystallizator (Space furnace). The microgravitational materials
research project preceding the design and preparation of the equipment started
with the joint Soviet-Hungarian space mission in 1980. The Hungarian astronaut,
Bertalan Farkas made crystallizing experiments on board Salyut-6. Besides KFKI
and VASKUT, the University of Miskolc also contributed to the preparation of
these experiments.
As the only Hungarian research institution of microgravitation, the Department
of Metallic Substances of the University of Miskolc undertook to organize
international research. In the course of research projects conducted from 1986
on, there emerged the problem of constructing a crystallizing apparatus without
any mechanical movement. That is how researchers of the University of Miskolc
developed the Universal Multizone Crystallizator. The UMC (Universal Multizone
Crystallizator) is number one in the world in its category and has every chance
to enter Hungarian-American cooperation as a Hungarian technical apparatus and
serve the objectives of a world-wide space mission in the field of materials
sciences.
The two-year American testing of UMC ended in August 1996. The equipment was
redesigned in accordance with the instructions of NASA. The objective of the
development is to get to the International Space Station.

Research Institute of Applied Chemistry
(Founded in 1957)
The legal predecessor of the institute was founded by the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences in 1957 under the name of the Research Laboratory for Oil Production in
order to create the academic background for national oil and gas mining. With
its present name of Research Institute of Applied Chemistry, the institute is a
market-oriented unit of the University of Miskolc with its own financing. In
accordance with its basic profile, its R&D tasks and outstanding results are
related to the following fields:
research projects in reservoir mechanics, physical chemistry and colloid
chemistry to provide a background for the exploration, production, underground
storing and transportation of hydrocarbons
research projects in chemistry to attain the safe and efficient production and
utilisation of solid minerals and to support engineering geology, hydrology and
environmental sciences
research projects to promote the development and production of special
instruments and equipment, applied R&D to support the development and operation
of measurement, process and production control and information systems of
industrial technologies
Almost 50 years of the institute's activity have contributed greatly to the
establishment of mining chemistry as a new interdisciplinary scientific field
which provides a unified framework for the integration of the knowledge of
geology, mining engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering. Besides
research and development, the three scientific departments of the institute (the
Departments of Reservoir Mechanics, Mining Chemistry, Instrument Development and
Information Sciences) also provide modern conditions for undergraduate and
postgraduate training. Since 2000 an Industrial Digital Communication Research
and Development Laboratory has been working in the institute as the national
centre of Fieldbus Foundation (Austin TX, USA), which promotes the further
training of industrial experts. The widespread national and international
relations of the institute make it possible that a Research and Development
Centre for Natural Sciences can be set up on the basis of the Research Institute
of Applied Chemistry in the future, which will extend the R&D activities of the
integrated higher education institution and fulfill regional tasks,
simultaneously providing an international level framework for technical R&D
activities, multilevel education and scientific training.
