# Mathias Corvinus Collegium > [!info] Stub > Minimal-viable page created to resolve a wikilink. Expand with endowment history, international programming, and the UK/US funding trail. Hungarian educational foundation and talent-development institution endowed with public assets under [[Viktor Orbán]]'s government, functioning as a soft-power vehicle for Hungarian national conservatism abroad. MCC co-funded the [[Edmund Burke Foundation]]'s 2023 National Conservatism conference in Brussels and has given £512,500 since 2023 to the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation, on whose board [[James Orr]] sits. Hungary's post-Orbán prime minister Péter Magyar has accused MCC and related bodies of misusing Hungarian public funds for "foreign influence operations in Britain," a claim tied to a potential criminal investigation. ## See Also - [[Viktor Orbán]] - [[Danube Institute]] - [[Edmund Burke Foundation]] - [[National Conservatism]]
