Introduction The European Space Agency (ESA, www.esa.int) is an international organisation with 22 Member States. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. The Member States of ESA are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. ESA's headquarters are in Paris which is where policies and programmes are decided. ESA also has sites in a number of European countries, each of which has different responsibilities: EAC, the European Astronauts Centre in Cologne, Germany; ESAC, the European Space Astronomy Centre, in Villanueva de la Canada, Madrid, Spain; ESOC, the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany; ESRIN, the ESA centre for Earth Observation, in Frascati, near Rome, Italy; ESTEC, the European Space Research and Technology Centre, Noordwijk, the Netherlands. ECSAT, the European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications, Harwell, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. ESEC, the European space Security and Education Centre, Redu, Belgium. ESA employs around 2200 scientists, engineers, information technology specialists and administrative personnel from all the Member States. ESA's budget for 2019 is 5.72 billion Euros (Figure 1). ESA’s mandatory activities (space science programmes and the general budget) are funded by a financial contribution from all ESA’s Member States, calculated in accordance with each country’s gross national product. In addition, ESA conducts a number of optional programmes. Each Member State decides in which optional programme they wish to participate and the amount they wish to contribute. Basic Activities; 4,2% General Budget; 4,1% Telecom and Integrated Applications; 6,8% Earth Observation; 24,3% Scientific Programme; 9,2% Space Situational Awareness; 0,5% Technology Support; 2,1% Human Spaceflight, Microgravity and Exploration; 12,0% Prodex ; 1,2% Space Transportation; Navigation; 13,1% ECS Agreements; 22,5% 0,1% Figure 1 ESA budget by domain for 20191 Since 2004, thirteen European countries (EU-13) have joined the European Union. As of August 2019, all these countries have established formalized

KONKOLY THEGE MIKLÓS ÚT 1121 BUDAPEST, HUNGARY PROGRESS REPORT ON RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN 2012 1 CENTRE FOR ENERGY RESEARCH PROGRESS REPORT 2012 Dear Reader, Welcome to the first Progress Report of the Centre for Energy Research, Hungarian Academy of Sciences. From January 1, 2012, the Institute of Isotopes joined the KFKI Atomic Energy Research Institute in the framework of a major reorganisation of the institute network of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The merging of the two institutes was carried out without substantial difficulties, however, it was a good argument to reconsider their strategies. As far as nuclear energy R&D&I is concerned, the strategy has remained unchanged. It consists of three basic elements, namely to provide the scientific background for the extended safe operation of the Paks NPP units, to participate in the preparation of constructing new nuclear units in Hungary, and to contribute to the international efforts related to the closure of the fuel cycle and the development of the new generation of power reactors. Concentrating human resources and infrastructures to these challenges is the most important duty of the management. Hopefully, the proposed Hungarian national nuclear R&D program will start rather soon and it will decisively influence the activities of the research centre. The establishing of a strong nuclear cooperation among the nuclear research centres of the Visegrád 4 countries aiming at the construction of a Generation 4 reactor also requires a strong governmental support.
