The new, 19-member HAC began its term on 1 February 2010. On 12 February it held its first plenary meeting and the members received their letters of appointment, signed by the Prime Minister. The members elected György Bazsa as their president for a second term. At the following meeting, on 26 February, the members set up the new standing committees. According to the 2009 amendment of the higher education act, these have been reduced to eight expert committees, grouped according to broad sets of disciplines.
