About the Public Affairs Section
The Public Affairs Section (formerly know as U.S. Information Service or USIS) conducts educational and cultural exchanges and press and information activities.
The Cultural Affairs Office supervises U.S. academic exchange programs, including Fulbright, Ron Brown, and Humphrey Fellowships. We also arrange short-term professional visits to the U.S. in selected fields, under the International and Voluntary Visitor Program. Other programs include providing student advising services and computer-based testing through the Fulbright Commission, arranging lecturers on foreign policy and security topics, supporting civic education and democracy building projects, and encouraging partnerships between U.S. and Hungarian cultural organizations. Our electronic reference service, "Information USA," answers inquiries about U.S. policy, as well as about politics, economics, society, and culture.
The Press Office's chief duties are answering daily media inquiries and issuing press releases, distributing the "Washington File" electronically, conducting non-academic exchange programs for journalists, arranging media training in the U.S. for working professionals, and taking care of the media needs of high-level U.S. Government visitors, trade missions, and official delegations.
