A groundbreaking research initiative involving Széchenyi István University is underway, with the University playing a key role in a European Union project that deploys a satellite to monitor drought-prone regions across Hungary. As part of this initiative, the University's Albert Kázmér Faculty in Mosonmagyaróvár is analysing data received from space to better understand and mitigate the impacts of drought.

Széchenyi István University is launching a much-needed Master’s programme in Health Psychology in Western Hungary starting this February in a correspondence format, designed to address the region's demand in this field. The two-year programme, offered by the Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences, will commence in Hungarian in the spring semester, while an English-taught, full-time version will be available for international students from the autumn semester onward.

Several health technology developments are currently underway at Széchenyi István University. One of them allows patients to perform the physical exercises necessary for their rehabilitation in their own homes. The AI-based software not only assesses the accuracy of movement sequences but is also capable of providing the attending physician with a comprehensive report.
