Join the next Alumni Hungary Webinar, where healthcare economist Zsombor Zrubka will give an insight into this swiftly developing field.

Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and the stars, is a promising long-term option for a sustainable, non-carbon emitting global energy supply. At the Alumni Hungary Webinar in May, fusion researcher, Sándor Zoletnik discussed this highly interesting field and gave insight into the largest international fusion energy project, ITER. Read our interview with him!

Our alumni communities and networks are growing day by day and have reached around 10.000 members. Some of them decided to organize chapters (small groups) to keep in contact or build professional collaboration with each other. In 2022 our alumni volunteers launched 6 different new alumni groups (4 local and 2 professional) giving a chance to the members to join.
