Human resources development in the Central Danube Priority Area

Abstract

The Central Danube Priority Area (CDPA), comprising 99 municipalities, was established in 2020 with the aim of providing an organized framework for the opportunities and challenges arising from the expansion of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant. A regional development concept and strategic program was created for the Priority Area, which includes human development priority and measures. As the only higher education institution in the area, the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Education and Regional Development of the University of Pécs (PTE KPVK) is involved in several ongoing programs related to human resource development concepts. The study presents the vision of the Central Danube Priority Area, the region's human resource potential, and the role of the Faculty in successful human resource development measures.
