It is necessary to publish minimum 4 conference paper. We preferred those conferences which have an international scientific committee and 2 of them are not organised in Hungary. Papers should be reviewed full conference paper which is published in a Proceeding with ISBN number. Additionally need minimum 4 articles in scientific journals which have well known indexes (Scopus, etc). Besides that it would be a book, a chapter of a book, international conference abstract, research reports which published.
