The University Library and Archives of Széchenyi István University is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and a conference entitled "Digital Transformation in Public Collections" was organised to mark the occasion. At the opening ceremony of the professional day, the University's management and the national higher education library and archives associations gave recognition to the celebrating institution.

The world-renowned Fulbright Scholarship, which this semester brought 32 US professors to Hungary, was recently hosted by Széchenyi István University in Győr, Hungary, together with the Hungarian-American Fulbright Commission. Thanks to the international academic mobility programme, two American professors are currently teaching and researching at the institution.

The 30th anniversary of the Hungarian Road and Railway Society was celebrated with a special professional programme, the MAÚT30 International Scientific Symposium. Experts from Széchenyi István University participated in the early October conference held in Budapest, where the University’s students were recognized in the organisation's talent programme. For the first time, the Cultural Engineering Award, established in memory of the institution's former lecturer, Dr Péter Scharle, was also presented during the event.
