The foundation stone of the new judicial training institution in Balatonszemes was solemnly placed. The „MIA-Balaton” can be completed by January 2021.

The building complex will enable the conduction of trainings with the most advanced technical facilities. MIA-Balaton will fulfill several functions. The 1270 sq ft central building will serve educational purposes, while the other 1320 sq ft building will provide accommodation and catering for the participants. The investment has become timely because the Budapest building, which has hitherto been used for judicial training, in recent years has proved to be smaller than the increased demand.

The formal and functional features of the MIA-Balaton were created in a special way. Coordinated by MOME teachers, the architects, interior architects, and future users – judges and court staff – jointly shaped the exterior and interior of the building in workshops.
An important aspect of the design was that the contemporary building complex should be modern and timeless, fitting perfectly into the Balaton landscape and all its elements reflect the special atmosphere of the Hungarian Sea. Environmental awareness and energy efficiency were emphasized in the design and construction.

At the solemn foundation stone laying dr. Tünde Handó, president of the National Office for the Judiciary (NOJ) emphasized that the number of courses organized and coordinated by the Hungarian Academy of Justice (MIA) increased from 4 hundred to 4 thousand, and the number of participants increased from 5 thousand to 18 - 25 thousand. With the launch of MIA-Balaton, the number of trainings organized jointly with other legal professions can be increased, but the new building also has the potential to become the center of judicial training in Central Eastern Europe.

The time capsule was placed by the president of the NOJ, Veronika Simon, architect and contractor of MIA Balaton and the mayor of Balatonszemes. Construction work began in the first week of August and has 18 months to complete
