Tempus Public Foundation (TPF) is a non-profit organisation established in 1996 by the Hungarian Government, with the task of managing international cooperation programmes and projects in the field of education, training and EU-related issues.

This is realised in various forms: On the one hand, by regularly providing structured information to the different stakeholder groups tailor-made for their needs such as evidence-based policy recommendations for policy-makers, books and publications addressed to practitioners that facilitate translating policy priorities and research results into the world of practice using an accessible language. On the other hand, by creating various platforms that bring different stakeholders together: organising workshops, peer-learning activities, conferences, webinars, online fora, etc. both at a national and at an international level.
