Széchenyi István University will showcase its offerings at a spectacular booth during the Educatio Exhibition in Budapest from 9–11 January and will host an open day on 14 January at its Győr campus. Visitors to these events can experience cutting-edge technologies such as agricultural drones, VR bicycles, and eye-tracking cameras. Additionally, they can try out the e-sports simulator, meet student teams, and even get a glimpse into the world of drone soccer.

The Educatio Exhibition, held from 9–11 January at Budapest’s Hungexpo, offers prospective students the opportunity to engage with representatives of Hungary’s higher education institutions. This year, Széchenyi István University, the host of EFOTT this year, will take centre stage with a prominent 300-square-metre booth in Pavilion "D." The circular "dome" booth will represent all nine faculties of the University. Visitors can chat with instructors and students about the University's opportunities, admission criteria, scoring system and student life.

Attendees will also have the chance to meet members of the SZEnergy Team, developers of a record-breaking electric racecar, and the Arrabona Racing Team, a top-tier participant in the Formula Student competition. A large projection screen at the booth will allow visitors to explore the University's buildings virtually. Beyond the booth, the University’s e-sports division will present its simulators, and attendees can learn about drone soccer. A DJ will provide music from a University-branded truck, adding to the vibrant atmosphere (a teaser video from last year’s Educatio Exhibition is available here).

Following the Educatio Exhibition, Széchenyi István University will host an open day on 14 January at its Győr campus. Here, prospective students can explore programmes across 11 disciplines, including law, economics, social sciences, engineering, agriculture, humanities, IT, education, health sciences, arts and sports sciences. The University offers nearly 100 programmes for applicants to consider.

The Open Day, one of the most significant events leading up to the admissions period, provides prospective students with answers to all their questions — from admission requirements and scholarships to student life activities. In addition to presentations on application processes, scoring, and accommodation options, attendees can participate in campus tours, lab visits, faculty-specific information sessions, and meet-and-greets with student teams.
