The Academic Day at Széchenyi István University, held annually to commemorate the birth anniversary of its namesake, Count István Széchenyi, is the institution’s most prestigious event. Originally scheduled for September, this year's event was postponed to 22 November, due to the University's involvement in flood relief efforts. During the ceremony, new doctoral degrees were conferred, and distinguished awards were presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to the University's progress.

For the tenth time, Széchenyi István University organised the Formula Student Symposium for Formula Student racing teams with a record number of 300 participants. The event, held from 15 to 17 November, featured development presentations by renowned engineers from the motorsport and automotive industries to young people from many countries.

Széchenyi István University has been ranked in the 501–600 range in the newly published Times Higher Education (THE) Interdisciplinary Science Ranking, released for the first time on 21 November. This achievement reflects the University's world-class infrastructure, significant research income, increasing output across multiple disciplines, and growing academic reputation.
