Magyar orvostani kutatók Svédországban
Hungarian Medical Researchers in Sweden

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on those Hungarian researchers who contributed to the medical research of Sweden from World War II to our days, including a brief presentation of the Swedish medical universities and the medical research of Sweden. Hungarians general have arrived to Sweden in several waves, some of them directly after the war, others as refugees after the revolution in 1956, or in the eighties fleeing from Ceauşescu’s regime in Romania. Some of them have been headhunted by Swedish health organizations to lead diverse screening projects in the seventies and the eighties. In the beginning of the nineties it became easier for Hungarians (from Hungary and the neighbouring states, where Hungarians constitute ethnic minorities) to work as PhD-students or guest-researchers in Sweden. In the article sixteen (of the contacted twenty-four) Hungarian researchers tell their story and comment on the Swedish research conditions.
