The Hungarian desktop Grid is a project from MTA-SZTAKI, the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Acadmy of Science. The idea is to provide to Hungarian Researchers access to large desktop Grids to solve big scientific problems.

SZTAKI did choose the BOINC desktop Grid software to run the project. SZTAKI provides training and assistance to the scientists. The complete Grid project website is in Hungarian. Despite that fact, already many people from outside the country offered to run computer programmes.

More information - in Hungarion - is available on SZTAKI Desktop Grid .
