Innovation, science and research

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.

Innovative projects of Hungarian universities are pioneering eco-friendly solutions and cutting-edge advancements, highlighting a commitment to a sustainable future. This synergy paves the way for groundbreaking developments in environmental and technological fields.

Hungarian higher education institution researchers are making our world a better place with their innovative work. From building record-breaking bridge to developing new methods for protein structural analysis, these researchers are paving the way for the future of research. Get inspired by their latest initiatives and join them in shaping the future.

Even if you left Hungary or finished your studies connection with your alma mater is essential for your future career. To keep you informed, we have gathered the latest research and innovations from four universities. Discover what happened at Smartmanfest, how fasting can help prevent diseases, which business models can contribute to a sustainable future, and what kind of strategy has been developed to cure the most lethal type of cancer. Dive in and stay updated!

Since 2018, Beáta Nagy, University Professor has represented our institution as a board member, and from now on the university is the only Hungarian university to participate in the work of the organisation as a founding member, alongside the most important sociological workshops.

We have several alumni members who hold a PhD/DLA or study as emerging researchers and there are many young researchers in Hungary, who rarely meet each other. Thus, Alumni Network Hungary and GiLE Foundation organize masterclasses in Budapest at the Tempus Public Foundation’s office on 12 May (Friday)! Let’s join us and refresh your professional network with great people!

Using Artificial intelligence to predict sports performance and to gain more quality time for doctors with patients are only two of the forward-looking research Semmelweis University had been working on lately. These are the developments the University counting on in 2023.

When the SZE-SAT team of Széchenyi István University was founded, it set itself the goal of putting a satellite of its own design into the sky. The students have reached an important stage in this process, as they have completed and tested the module that will soon be able to broadcast the name of the institution and Győr to the countries of the world, announcing that Széchenyi István University has entered space. In December, the satellite of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) will carry the Győr-developed communication panel into the cosmos.

Space research is aimed to be an increasingly important field in the scientific portfolio of the University of Debrecen. UD has recently been visited by the first Hungarian cosmonaut, where he learned about the university’s space research program that includes solutions for long-term stay in space, space diet and sustainable cultivation practices among others.
