His mentoree, Balázs Vén recently won the football video game category of a prestigious international competition.

On 26 November, nearly 500 students presented their research in over 40 sections at the Scientific and Artistic Students’ Conference at Széchenyi István University. The event, which attracted a record number of participants, began with a keynote address by Dr Lajos Mocsai, Professor and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for the Hungarian University of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. Dr Mocsai, a former head coach of the Hungarian national handball team, spoke about how motivational methods used in sports can enhance scientific performance.

Studying at Széchenyi István University is made much more accessible through the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship, offered by the Hungarian government. This opportunity is available to young individuals from approximately 100 countries. In addition, the University of Győr provides their own scholarship as well to talented international students facing difficult circumstances.
