ABOUT THE LIBERTY BRIDGE PROGRAM
The goal of HIF's Liberty Bridge Program, launched in 2020, is to reinvigorate the US-Hungary relationship by building up a new framework of programs that will bolster the professional, academic, public, and people-to-people dialogue between the two countries. The idea behind the program is our core conviction that the US and Hungary share value-driven special bonds built on the concept of Liberty. As part of this program, HIF will invest in scholars and fellows who have demonstrated leadership skills and will serve as future bridge-builders between the two countries.
