Brilliance in Exile: The Diaspora of Hungarian Scientists from John von Neumann to Katalin Karikó#

A new publication by Professor István Hargittai MAE, member of the Chemical Sciences section of Academia Europaea and Balazs Hargittai.

By addressing the enigma of the exceptional success of Hungarian emigrant scientists and telling their life stories, Brilliance in Exile combines scholarly analysis with fascinating portrayals of uncommon personalities. István and Balazs Hargittai discuss the conditions that led to five different waves of emigration of scientists from the early twentieth century to the present. Although these exodes were driven by a broad variety of personal motivations, the attraction of an open society with inclusiveness, tolerance, and – needless to say – better circumstances for working and living, was the chief force drawing them abroad.
