On 18 June we celebrated the recent graduates of the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme at a prestigious farewell event. The ceremony organized at Park Inn By Radisson Hotel Budapest was attended by more than 150 guests, including ambassadors, graduating scholarship holders and the volunteers of Alumni Network Hungary.

On 22 March, we launch the 2023 season of the Alumni Hungary Webinars with an exciting presentation by Craig V. Johnson the head of the incubation program at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design and our alumni volunteer, who will walk you through the creative process of making innovative ideas real.

In July the presenter of the Alumni Hungary Webinar Series was the internationally acclaimed ethologist, Ádám Miklósi, the head of the Ethology Department and the director of the Institute of Biology at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). In his webinar, Professor Miklósi showed how ethology, the scientific study of animal behavior, can help the development of social robots.
