A Közép-Európai Egyetem tudományos közösségének szolidaritási levele a Magyar Tudományos Akadémiával
Lovász László Professzornak,
a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Elnökének
és Dr. Orbán Viktornak
Magyarország Miniszterelnökének
Alulírottak, a Közép-Európai Egyetem dolgozói, diákjai és öregdiákjai szolidaritásunkat fejezzük ki a Magyar Tudományos Akadémiával és az akadémiai kutató intézetek dolgozóival, akiknek munkáját és megélhetését fenyegeti az intézetek finanszírozásának átszervezése.
Az Országgyűlés által a 2019. évre elfogadott Költségvetési Törvény és az akadémiai kutatóintézetek pénzügyi felügyeletének átruházása az Akadémiáról az Innovációs és Technológiai Minisztériumra, amit a kormányközeli sajtó Akadémia-ellenes propagandakampánya kísér, súlyos beavatkozást jelent a tudományos kutatás szabadságába, és aláássa az intézetek fenntarthatóságát. Ezek az intézkedések egyben ellentmondanak Magyarország Alaptörvényének is, amely kimondja: “Tudományos igazság kérdésében az állam nem jogosult dönteni, tudományos kutatások értékelésére kizárólag a tudomány művelői jogosultak. Magyarország védi a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia és a Magyar Művészeti Akadémia tudományos és művészeti szabadságát” (X. Cikk, 2-3. §).
Láthatólag, mindez csak újabb lépés abban a folyamatban, amely a magyar felsőoktatási és tudományos intézmények tudományos szabadságát igyekszik korlátozni. Ez a folyamat előreláthatólag tragikus következményekkel jár nemcsak a magyar tudományra, de az egész magyar társadalomra nézve. A kutatás és oktatás szabadsága ellen irányuló támadás nemcsak, hogy félelmet és anyagi szükséget hoz számos magyar állampolgárnak és családnak, de a szaktudás és a tehetséges fiatalság további külföldre áramlásához fog vezetni. Ezt a veszteséget Magyarország nem engedheti meg magának.
A Magyar Tudományos Akadémia intézményes autonómiájának korlátozása előreláthatólag megbénítja a tudományos kutatást, és megbénítja a technológiai és társadalmi haladást, ami nélkül az ország nem nézhet szembe a XXI. század kihívásaival. Hosszú távon pedig lehetetlenné teszi majd egy tudás alapú társadalom felépítését, ami pedig a kormány fejlesztési politikájának elsőrendű célja kellene legyen, és ami nélkül hazánk elveszíti versenyképességét a nemzetközi tudományos közösségben. Ez elkerülhetetlenül vezet a magyar társadalom további elszegényedéséhez és leszakadásához.
Ezért szolidaritásunkat fejezzük ki az MTA kutatóintézeteiben dolgozó kollégáinkkal, és felszólítjuk Magyarország Kormányát, hogy állítsa le a tudományos intézmények ellen folytatott támadásokat. Egyben arra kérjük a tudományos kutatás és a felsőoktatás területén dolgozó kollégáinkat itthon és külföldön, hogy egyesült erővel álljunk ellent a tudományos kutatás szabadságát korlátozni próbáló minden törekvésnek.

CEU Community's Open Letter of Solidarity with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
To Prof. László Lovász
President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
and to Dr. Viktor Orbán
Prime Minister of Hungary
We, the undersigned, employees, students, and alumni of Közép-Európai Egyetem (CEU), express our solidarity with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the employees of its research institutes, whose work and subsistence are threatened by the restructuring of the finances of these institutes.
The Budget Act of 2019 passed by Parliament and the transfer of the control over the funding of the Academy’s research institutes to the Ministry for Innovation and Technology, accompanied by a propaganda campaign in the government media against the Academy, constitute a serious case of interference with the freedom of research and undermines the stability of these institutes. Moreover, this move is contrary to the Hungarian Fundamental Law, which stipulates: “The State shall have no right to decide on questions of scientific truth; only scientists shall have the right to evaluate scientific research. Hungary shall protect the scientific and artistic freedom of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian Academy of Arts” (Article X, § 2-3).
Apparently, this is a further step in a process that aims at curtailing academic freedom of Hungarian institutions of research and higher education. This process would have dramatic effects not only on Hungarian science, but also on the entire Hungarian society. Besides generating fear and misery for many Hungarian citizens and their families, the attacks on the freedom of research and education would lead to an increased emigration of scholars and scientists, mostly young, a further brain drain that Hungary can hardly afford.
Moreover, the interference with the institutional autonomy of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences would paralyse academic research and would impede technological and societal progress, both necessary to successfully face the challenges of the 21st century. Finally, in the long run, it would prevent the construction of a knowledge-based society, which should be the primary aim of government policy and without which Hungary would lose its competitivity in the international community. Inevitably, this would lead to a further impoverishment and marginalisation of the Hungarian society.
For this reason, we express our solidarity with our colleagues working in the research institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and call upon the Hungarian Government to halt the ongoing attacks on the academic institutions. Also, we are calling upon all our colleagues working in the fields of academic research and higher education in Hungary and abroad, to unite our forces and resist all attempts of interference with the freedom and autonomy of academic research.
