Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze and evaluate research, development and the innovation system in education in Hungary. One of the conclusions is that Hungary is struggling with the problem of having a limited budget in the field of research into education, and of there being a lack of strategy and of data. At the same time, there are phenomena in Hungary that are more or less characteristic of this region – and some of them can be considered Hungaricum. The Hungarian education R+D+I system has been shaped and strongly brought into line by a development policy financed by the structural fund. While this major amount of money can lead to great opportunities, its recent operations might have had distortionary effects, too. The most serious problem regarding the functioning of the system is that cooperation and coordination – not only among actors located at the three angles of the HELIX triangle but among actors in the same position – is haphazard. This connects with the quantitative and qualitative problems from the human resources of the Hungarian educational R+D+I system.
