The provision of public goods for the public sector is an increasing burden for the government budgets. Growing social needs and the maintenance of the formerly achieved supply levels further expand the source need. The answer for this was the co-operation based on the partnership of public and private sectors (public-private partnership, hereinafter referred to as PPP). This form of social co-operation is not without any preliminaries, because a number of international examples prove the former existence of the idea. Anyway, it has become conscious and widespread governmental instrument from the 1980s. The Hungarian government had become aware by the early 2000s that there are some modernization objectives within public goods (e.g. development of highway network, reconstruction of higher education institutions, enlargement of their capacities, building of high-priority facilities for cultural purposes, etc.), for which the budget cannot provide financial sources without further considerable indebtedness, but the project is justified for economic or social reasons. The presentation intends to give an overall view of experiences of PPP implementation in Hungary, primarily focusing on the development of higher education dormitory network, and raises questions which can be actually answered only after closing of the projects (in about 20 years).
