The NIIF Program is controlled by the Program Committee and managed by the NIIF Institute (NIIFI), under the umbrella of the Ministry of Education. The Program Committee consists of high-level representatives from, among others, the Ministry of Education, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the Ministry of Welfare, the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and the Hungarian Science Foundation.
Funding for academic and research networking in Hungary comes from the central government budget through the Ministry of Education and financial management is provided by NIIFI, within the NIIF Program. The permanent core staff within NIIFI, serving the HUNGARNET community and taking care of the NIIF Program, consists of about a dozen members.
The history of the NIIF Program goes back to the mid-1980s. The present organisational framework is the outcome of a relatively long development process. The Program provides advanced technical and application services for more than 600,000 users in science, education and public collections in Hungary. The services are available for about 500 institutions throughout the country.
