scientific quality must be submitted in the field of green finance. A research plan may be submitted by a researcher of Hungarian
nationality or an institution with legal personality based in Hungary, or by a group of researchers without legal personality

A panel of academics and individual members of the Monetary Council, the Green Finance Academic Council, is free to decide
