Széchenyi István University is committed to supporting student innovation: the institution strives to embrace all entrepreneurial ideas and research with business potential. One of the successful forms of this is the Széchenyi Duo competition, based on cooperation between lecturers and students, the last round of which ended in January. Within the framework of the National Research, Development and Innovation Office’s (NRDI) University Innovation Ecosystem project, three award-winning teams created prototypes in connection with carbon fibre composites, orthopedic braces and creative clothing, the latter of which also launched a business called Anky Pery.

For students looking to gain lifelong experiences and make lasting friendships during a semester abroad, Széchenyi István University offers a selection of over 210 partner universities. There is now just a month to go before the application deadline on 8  March. It is worth noting that students currently still in the second semester of their studies are also eligible to apply.

Széchenyi István University is a leader in technical education in Hungary. This was further evidenced by the institution when it launched a unique Competition Engineer programme two years ago. Students of the first cohort – among them Gábor Talmácsi, world speed motorcycle champion – recently received their diplomas.
