Széchenyi István University has hosted a drone competition for the first time in its history. On the track set up in the clearing near Aranypart II, quadcopters, i.e. remote control four-rotor drones, clashed with each other in an official race recognised by the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI), which was also the second stage of the Hungarian championship. The event, named the 1st SZE Cup, was a true co-production: apart from the University’s drone laboratory, the SZEviation drone development student team and the Hungarian competition organisation Drone Racing Hungary were involved in the organisation.

Five international students from Széchenyi István University received awards for their research at the recent Science and Arts Student Conference held at the institution. Four of the students were so outstanding that they have earned the right to participate in the 2023 National Scientific Student Conference, which will be the final of the competition.
