  DR. KRASSAI LOVAG KERPELY KÁLMÁN (1864–1940) PIONEER OF THE MODERNISATION OF HUNGARIAN CROP PRODUCTION. Agriculture in Hungary – more speciically crop production – dates back to the Roman 17th century. Hungarian agriculture is rooted in Western European agriculture. Its development was started in the Age of Enlightenment, during which the conditions of the modernisation of agriculture were established in the Carpathian basin in the 18th–19th century. Social transformation, the reorganisation of possessions and the establishment of the system of agricultural higher education made it possible to modernise the agricultural sector. In the 1800s, agricultural higher education institutes were esablished in Keszthely and
  Magyaróvár under modest circumstances. In 1867, a state-run institution was established in Debrecen where education and research were launched with well prepared teachers who had international knowledge. At the end of the century, Kerpely Kálmán started to work in Debrecen and crop production research was launched with the central topic of analysing the harmonious correlations of the nutrient and water supply of the produced crops. he hundred-year-old results and establishments of this research direction provide a basis for the development activity of subsequent years and the research of its basic correlations. hese scientiic activities are still timely today.

  Conference Review on the workshop of Science between Tradition and Innovation: Historical Perspectives. On 28th and 29th of May 2019 ’The Patterns of the Circulation of Scientific Knowledge in Hungary, 1770–1830’ research group organized the conference on Science between Tradition and Innovation: Historical Perspectives in Szekfű Gyula Library (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest). The programme of the conference was based on the English and German papers of the Hungarian, Czech, Austrian and German guests and the members of the research group of history of science at Eötvös Loránd University Institute of History. The principle aim of the conference was to negotiate the East-Central European context of the problem of tradition and innovation which has become well-known in recent studies of history of science and cultural history. Periodically, the conference framed the frequently underrated, eighteenth-century period of early modern scientific culture. The thematic panels and papers investigated the historical and analitical implications of the long eighteenth century paying special attention to such questions as of the use of concepts, scientific practices, knowledge production, transfer processes, and scientific disciplines.
