me
FÓRIS, ÁGOTA
The Terminology and Communication Research Group (TERMIK)! of the Fac¬
ulty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Käroli Gäspär University ofthe Reformed
Church in Hungary (KRE BTK) has been working on the general questions and
foundations ofthe Hungarian terminology strategy for a decade and a half. One
of the results of this work was the publication of a collection of studies, titled
Terminolögiastrategiai kihivasok a magyar nyelvterületen [Challenges of termi¬
nology strategy in the Hungarian language area] in 2019.” The aim was to carry
out the preparations for the Hungarian national terminology strategy aligned
with international guidelines that included recommendations on medium-term
tasks relevant to terminology strategy.’ Since such a plan requires broad collab¬
oration and regular discussions, we have been working with other organizations
and institutions on research and planning related to terminology strategy in the
years after this. Since the idea of the Hungarian terminology strategy was first
conceived, the following research projects, all supported by Karoli Gaspar Uni¬
versity (KRE), should be highlighted: 1) the research grant between 2018 and 2021,
supported by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of KRE, when the
TERMIK research group began to study the fundamental questions and history
of languages for specific purposes (LSPs) and terminology in Hungary,‘ 2) the
¬
Terminology and Communication Research Group (TERMIK), Faculty of Humanities and Social
Sciences at Käroli Gäspär University of the Reformed Church in Hungary. https://btk.kre.hu/
