Siegfried Peinen, Belgium's Ambassador to Hungary, who visited Széchenyi István University on Thursday, 16 June, believes that cooperation with the University is realistic in several areas. The diplomat spoke positively about the development and infrastructure quality of the University of Győr.

The alumni of the TIGER international programme who graduated from the first university programme of the Győr institution 25 years ago, met again at Széchenyi István University. In her welcome speech at the event, Dr Eszter Lukács, Vice-Rector for International Affairs, emphasised that the success of the University of Győr today is based on the foundations laid a quarter of a century ago by the leaders of this programme.

The citizens of Széchenyi István University perform their value-creating activities not only for the benefit of the institution, but also for the benefit of a larger community, the city and the region. This is demonstrated by the fact that Dr Bálint Lampert, assistant professor, received the Győr Environmental Protection Award, Dr Pál Szakál, professor emeritus, received the title of "Outstanding University Lecturer of the City of Mosonmagyaróvár", while Dr Rezső Schmidt, professor, received the Ministry of Agriculture’s Nagyváthy János Award. Ágnes Bozsaky, a former student of the Apáczai Csere János Faculty of the University, won second place in the "Special Education Teacher of the Year" competition this year, after winning first place last year. The work of Ferenc Szabó, musician and conductor of the Győr Symphonic Band, was recognised by the town of Komárom, while the work of the Foundation for School Gardens was recognised by the Ministry of Agriculture.
