<<< | Contents^ 11. International relations The most prestigious research libraries and the main professional associations have become active members of various international organisations, such as IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions), EBLIDA (European Bureau of Library, Information and Documentation Associations) and LIBER (Ligue des Bibliotheques Européennes de Recherche). The National Széchényi Library also has extensive international relations with individual libraries as well as academic and cultural organisations worldwide, such as CENL (the Conference of European National Librarians), CERL (the Consortium of European Research Libraries), Gutenberg-Gesellschaft, and ABDOS (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Bibliotheken und Dokumentationsstellen der Ost-, Ostmittel- und Südosteuropaforschung). The British Council, the Goethe Institut and the Institut Français have considerably assisted Hungarian libraries in building international relations. These institutes have provided funding for various conferences, special projects and individual scholarships. During the past 10 years, Hungarian libraries have participated in a number of projects supported by the European Union (LISTED, CULTIVATE-CEE, DELOS, PULMAN, CELIP, LICENCE, CALIMERA, MINERVA PLUS, TEL-ME-MOR and Light). Hungarian professional organisations regularly cooperate with partner organisations in other European countries and special attention is paid to the cultural associations of Hungarian minorities in neighbouring countries. ^top | >>>
