(
magyarul is...)The Hungarian Danube Research Station Department of the Institute of Ecology and Botany of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences will move from Göd and Vácrátót to Budapest, Újpest. The new head office will be placed into an old protected Art Nouveau building. Ferdinand and Ferdinand Architects pleased to write this news because this is a brand new design job of the office.
The building we have to redesign and to extend has been built in 
1902 designed by Sándor Baumgarten 
and Zsigmond Hercegh. The last function of the house was school.
The Hungarian Danube Research Station Department of the Institute of Ecology and Botany of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences will became the new Danube Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. About from the page of the HAS:
Hydrobiology of running waters
Research is based on the experiences gained during the long-term survey of the previous decades: basic patterns of the river biota; material cycling of the different river sections; impact of environmental factors (natural or human induced hydrological regime) and the structure of the biotic community. A long-term task of the Station is the hydrobiological monitoring of the Szigetköz area. The latest studies of water and sediment chemistry, fito- and zooplankton, macrophytes, macroinvertebrates, fish populations and amphibians are all closely related to the functional aspects of biodiversity, river fragmentation, functioning of the river system and adjacent wetlands.
Hydrobiology of standing waters and wetlands
Most of the research of standing waters and wetlands is carried out at the Fertő-Hanság region. The investigations of the structure and function of communities and on the effects of environmental factors focus on two major habitat types of Lake Fertő: the open water surfaces and the reed belt. The hydrobiological monitoring of small lakes and constructed wetlands in the Hanság area serves mainly the reconstruction goals of nature conservation.
The Hungarian Danube Research Station takes part in the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, mainly in the elaboration of methodology for biomonitoring and the problem of reference sites.
The collections of the Botanical Garden Department
The Department maintains the richest living plant collection in Hungary, having more than 12000 taxa ordered to the following collections:
- Systematic collection
- Tropical collection
- Dendrological collection
- Collections of rock garden and bulbiferous plants"
A Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Ökológiai és Botanikai Intézetének Dunakutató Állomása Gödről és Vácrátótról Budapestre, Újpestre költözik. Az új központot egy szecessziós műemlék épületben kell elhelyeznünk, ez a legújabb tercvezési megbízásunk.
Az épület 1902-ben épült Baumgarten Sándor és Hercegh Zsigmond tervei alapján. A korszerűsítés és rekonstrukció mellett bővítenünk is kell a házat egy csónaktárolóval. A két éve üresen álló épület eredeti és utolsó funkciója is gimnázium volt.
