Institute of Agricultural Engineering

About the institute

The first predecessor in title of NARIC Institute of Agricultural Engineering (NARIC MGI) was established in Mosonmagyaróvár, Hungary in 1869.

The NARIC MGI is a research institute dealing with engineering and technical research, development, innovation and other related activities to enhance the mechanization of agriculture.

All activities are conducted according to an internal integrated quality management system which fulfils all requirements of MSZ EN ISO 9001 standard and certified by the TÜV Rheinland InterCert Ltd. The institute has laboratories for testing plant protection machines and energetic equipment which are both accredited by the Hungarian National Accreditation Authority.

The strategic programme of NARIC MGI is the sustainable, practice-oriented and market-specific development of Hungarian agriculture through the expansion of environmental resources. Its tactic objective is to perform such research, development, innovation and concerning functions which result in beneficial and competitive products, prototypes, technologies, services and commonwealth to contribute in the success of agrarian sector. In this respect, consultancy is its priority within which frame the institute publishes several transactions such as the Agricultural Engineering - cited technical journal and among others an MGI Book series for researchers and producers. It organizes scientific programs, exhibitions in order to disseminate its results and proposals among those who are involved in agriculture, within the shortest period of time. As part of its aims the NARIC MGI pays special attention for cooperating with producers, industrial partners, other research institutes and universities, decision makers. It focuses on facilitating the active involvement of young researchers and works to provide career for the next generation.
