Over the past 25 years, the MCC has become an interdisciplinary discussion platform in the Hungarian and European scientific landscape, which wants to contribute to the promotion of public dialogue with its diverse events, publications and research. More than 7,000 pupils and students are currently studying in the MCC, there are 14 educational centres in Hungary, nine in Transylvania and Carpathian Ukraine and one in Brussels.

Each year, more than 70.000 stu­dents are educated by one of the Chambers’ educational institutes.
