# Palkovics launches shift of universities to foundations

Date: 2018

In October 2018 Innovation Minister [László Palkovics](/people/laszlo-palkovics) said the Corvinus University model — operation by a foundation rather than the state — should be extended to Hungarian higher education; most universities were later transferred to foundations led by government-appointed boards.
