Abstract. This chapter summarizes my experiences in establishing and developing the Hungarian research student organization (www.kutdiak.hu) in the last ten years. The chapter lists the basic conditions, which are necessary to establish such an initiative, and details the most important steps of development. I am happy to see that similar organizations have been started in several European countries, and there are plans for the adaptation of the program outside Europe. I hope that the experiences outlined here help to avoid a few mistakes I did and suggest a few good solutions in the process.
Keywords. Research practice, high school students, mentors, networking
