Dr Boglárka Ballester-Bólya, Commissioner at the Ministry of European Union Affairs responsible for EU presidency training, coordination of personnel policy tasks, and communication with non-governmental organizations, delivered a lecture at Széchenyi István University on the upcoming Hungarian EU Presidency in 2024 and the relevant preparations. The Hungarian presidency is unique in several aspects, coinciding with the twentieth anniversary of Hungary's accession in 2024 and occurring during a period of institutional change, including the European Parliament elections in June 2024.

Széchenyi István University's mini-conference series aligns with the United Nations' sustainable development goals, exploring the theme of gender equality via invited external speakers. The latest event focused on how to promote greater involvement of women in the scientific world.

The inauguration ceremony of the Science and Innovation Park of Széchenyi István University in Győr was held on 7 November, just 500 metres from the central campus, on the former site of a Biscuits and Wafers Factory. An emblematic industrial landmark of the city, the "cubic building" will become a bastion of the dynamically developing university innovation ecosystem, where the institution will provide a space for higher education and industry collaborations, new research and development projects and the implementation of innovative ideas.
