Whether you are already a member of Alumni Network Hungary or are currently pursuing your studies in Hungary and considering joining, this is an excellent time to explore what the network offers. With a continuously growing membership, the network has significantly enhanced its range of services, providing valuable opportunities for its members.
Perhaps the greatest challenge for humanity in the 21st century is to fight against environmental degradation with better waste management, and developing new technologies, from space faring down to helping nature heal. We all live on this planet and we must protect it. From governments and organisations down to individuals, everyone can help tackle problem. From managing radioactive waste, and inventing new technologies at the University of Miskolc for sustainability, even young children can help with the supervision of MOME by planting new trees. Discover how the fight is far from over!
Research at Hungarian universities never stops. In every field, from the tiniest scales like crushing atoms and revolutionising cancer treatments – all the way to examining distant stars, research spreads like a sea of flowers, improving our everyday life.
Alumni from all over the world are invited to the International Alumni Meeting of Semmelweis University! Meet your old friends and professors from Hungary on the 17th and 18th May!
In December, we concluded this year’s Alumni Hungary webinar series with an outstanding talk by Dr. Zijian Győző Yang, a research fellow at the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics. He discussed the creation of large language models, such as ChatGPT, and shared insights into the development of PULI, the largest Hungarian language model. We also interviewed him about his research and perspectives on these groundbreaking technologies.
In November, the Alumni Network Hungary hosted Szilvia Juhász, PhD cancer researcher and the leader of the Cancer Microbiome Core Group at the Hungarian Centre of Excellence for Molecular Medicine (HCEMM) in Szeged. In our interview, she discussed her team’s research on the complex connection between the microbiome and cancer and highlighted the role of diet in gut health.
Join us on December 10 for a webinar exploring the most transformative AI applications of our time—ChatGPT. Discover how large language models like ChatGPT are built and gain insights into their immense scale and capabilities. Dr. Zijian Győző Yang, a leading researcher at the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics, will guide us through the world of AI language models, including the groundbreaking development of the Hungarian PULI models.
In October, the Alumni Network Hungary hosted Professor Zsolt Radák, Vice-Rector for Science and Innovation at the Hungarian University of Sport Science, for an insightful webinar. He shared his research on how physical activity can boost brain function and help lower the risk of neurobiological diseases like Alzheimer’s. We had the chance to chat with him about this important topic in a quick interview.
Did you know that the microbes in your body could hold the key to better cancer prevention? Join us for a webinar that uncovers how imbalances in microbiome communities can impact tumour growth. Our speaker, Szilvia Juhasz's top research team in Szeged explores new ways to detect early cancer signs, assess patient risks, and transform cancer treatment from reactive to preventive. This talk is for anyone interested in cutting-edge cancer research and the powerful connections between our microbiome and health.
Alexandra Köves, an ecological economist, and the head of the Ecological Economics Research Centre at the Corvinus Institute for Advanced Studies was our previous speaker at the Alumni Network Hungary Webinar. She is an advocate of the Degrowth movement and a devoted speaker for fair and just economics. We interviewed her about her work and research.
