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!
Exciting times ahead for environmental innovation! Nuclear energy with its high benefits in producing a large amount of energy from a small amount of materials also has its down sides due to its high environmental and health risks. One of them is storing radioactive waste. To help mitigate this problem ELTE and Gamma Zrt. have launched a program to better manage radioactive waste. Supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office, this collaboration promises faster, cost-effective solutions. Read more of this exiting news over here.
With space being the newest frontier in science and research Óbuda University has signed an agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA) to enhance space research and sustainability, signalling the university’s commitment by creating the Antal Bejczy Center for Intelligent Robotics and Space Lab to support these efforts. With this international collaboration, the University reaffirms its dedication to fostering innovative solutions for societal benefits through sustainable space activities.

Nowadays deforestation is one of the largest global environmental threats. Like most countries, Hungary also faces this troubling issue. Not only do trees create a healthy environment, but they also have a calming effect on your mind and soul. To mitigate this issue, the MOME Zero initiative aims to offset the university's carbon footprint by planting 30000 tree saplings in collaboration with Danube-Drava National Park experts and involves students and staff in hands-on fieldwork.
