The Program is closely co-operating with Hungarnet , the association of the user community.

The NIIF Program, in accordance with the international practice, at the same time plays a leading edge role in the development and introduction of most advanced networking technologies in Hungary. By this way, the Program fulfils a deterministic function in the nation-wide development of the information and communication technologies. While providing an up to date and competitive infrastructure for the academic and research community, the Program also serves by piloting new networking technologies and applications for the widest development efforts in the country.
