Dr. Dénes Fodor, Associate Dean of the Audi Hungaria Faculty of Automotive Engineering at Széchenyi István University, received the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Award of Excellence from the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the world's most prestigious international association of electrical engineers, at the annual opening meeting of the Hungarian section of the association. The honoured lecturer-researcher is planning to launch a department for the students at the University of Széchenyi, which will give talented young people a key to the world at an early stage of their studies and will enable them to enter the international scientific and professional circles.

The transformation of the system of social benefits, the expansion of student services, an internal succession training programme - among others these are the plans with which the new management of the Student Union (SU) of Széchenyi István University has undertaken its two-year mandate. While in the previous period the coronavirus epidemic and distance education meant the major challenges, the following period will be about gradual construction in the life of the SU. We had a conversation about paperless efforts, changing student needs and the role of charity with Márton Maczkó, the former president, Márton Pék, the current president and András Aschenbrenner, the vice-president of the University Student Union.
