The education counsellor and second secretary of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Hungary recently visited Széchenyi István University to discuss further opportunities for cooperation building on the existing partnership. In addition to the educational and cultural activities of the Confucius Institute at the Győr-based institution, the meeting also covered research and development opportunities, student and staff exchange programmes, and building the Chinese community in the region.

SZE’s refurbished Cuha utca Hall of Residence will provide state-of-the-art accommodation for more than 300 students from the start of the new academic year. The University modernised the building, which previously served as a workers’ hostel in Győr, using its own funds, and it was unveiled during a press tour on 1^st September.

The collaboration established by SZE’s Albert Kázmér Faculty in Mosonmagyaróvár, and the University’s spin-off company, Uni Inno Plc with Gallus Ltd and Taravis Ltd, both belonging to the Gallus Group, supports students’ professional development and industry experience, as well as the implementation of joint research, development and innovation projects.
