Sustainability is a key priority in the life of Széchenyi István University, and a focus of the training, research and events that take place at the institution. The recently created website brings together and presents these activities in Hungarian and English.

Is it possible to create a similar region of success on the old continent outside the 'blue banana' centre region spanning from Birmingham to Milan? How can the competitiveness of the Central European "boomerang" from Gdansk to Budapest be improved by a well-developed innovation ecosystem? How can a coherent and supportive legal environment stimulate the start-up world? Tamás Stipkovits, a PhD student at the Doctoral School of Law and Political Sciences of Széchenyi István University, was looking for answers to these questions in his thesis written for the competition of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

To great interest, The Regional University Network - European University (RUN-EU) consortium's founding workshops on open science, research strategy and topic leadership and mentoring were held with the participation of Széchenyi István University. The programme also offers a wide range of opportunities for joint international publications and the creation of international research teams.
