The University of Szeged 3 The University of Szeged Research, Development and Innovation The intellectual potential accumulated at the University of Szeged and the research conducted here has turned the institution not only into an important centre of Hungarian higher education, but also a crucial workshop of innovation in Hungary. The University’s 19 doctoral schools and its internationally respected research groups participate in high quality education and also organise and conduct basic and applied research in various areas. The centres of research and knowledge are in close working relationships and cooperate with renowned Hungarian

and foreign partner organisations. As a result of the cooperation with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA), 15 research groups in 4 faculties of the University enjoy the support of the MTA. The University of Szeged, along with its industrial partners such as companies engaged in biotechnology, is the driving force of innovation in the Southern Great Plain region. These partnerships are managed and coordinated by the University’s Directorate for Research and Development and Innovation. The University of Szeged is actively involved in drawing up medium- and longterm programmes (e.g Biopolisz Pólus) shaping the development of Szeged and the Southern Great Plain region. The key to the regional strategy for the coming decades can be the programme based on the cooperation of natural sciences and various related disciplines. Knowledge-based elements of this programme focus on the health industry, agricultural biotechnology, environmental technology and information technology (which

also prospers on its own) and support other scientific developments. The human resources for all these developments are ensured by constantly expanding and diversifying post-secondary vocational education and technical education in accordance with European endeavours and expectations. ELI The ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) Laser Research Centre, using ultrahigh intensity laser, is being built with international cooperation at three different East European locations, but will operate under a single management and use a common research strategy. The Attosecond Light Pulse Source in Szeged will provide opportunities for researchers to examine the duration of elementary processes. The main mission of the Attosecond Light Pulse Source, the laser research institution in Szeged, is to facilitate taking snapshots of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, plasmas and biological samples on the timescale of attoseconds and femtoseconds. Medical diagnostic procedures and particle beam-based

treatment are also among the applications that make use of this technology. These technologies use laser light or the so-called secondary light sources emitted by plasma generated in gas or solid target objects. The foundation stone of ELI was laid in a solemn ceremony on 6 February 2014 in Szeged. 4 Agricultural Engineer Degree: Agricultural engineer BSc Duration of the course: 7 semesters (6 academic semesters + 1 semester comprehensive professional training) Language of tuition: English Description of the programme: The aim of the BSc programme is to train agricultural engineers capable of realising production, leader, management, controlling and organisation work in agricultural enterprises of different size and type, completing tasks in enterprises dealing with the processing and marketing of agricultural products and also carrying out professional management duties and analysing and controlling commercial, economic processes in connection with agriculture.

greenest Hungarian University The University of Szeged is the greenest Hungarian university, and on the Green Universities top list it is ranked 19th in 2014. What makes a university green? A green university is committed to environmentally responsible behaviour and environmental consciousness as an educational concern. Whether in its energy strategy concerning larger investments or in its everyday climate-friendly activities, the University of Szeged always attempts to demonstrate through its popular programmes that the staff and students of the institution take the protection of the environment seriously. As a result, according to the Indonesian UI Green Metric Ranking of World Universities, the University of Szeged was found the greenest university in Eastern Europe in the last years. 43 University Congress Centre The Congress Centre that opened in January 2005 was founded by the University of Szeged and the local government. It takes pride in providing a perfect place for over

1.000 business, cultural and scientific events by hosting the following facilities: • 25000 m2 on 6 floors • the capacity can take up to 1.300 persons at the same time • the best place to conventions and conferences, university and business meetings, exhibitions and concerts • a fascinating and sunlit 1.000 m2 Atrium for gala dinners and professional exhibitions • 10 individual lecture and seminar rooms • s ophisticated audiovisual technologies by a high-skilled technical team • a great variety of Hungarian and international cooking by our catering partner The Congress Centre is the premier venue for conventions, meetings and largescale events with its 7.000 m2 banquet facility having a capacity of hosting as many as 1.300 people at the same time The elegant Congress Hall taken up to 685 people maintains an intimate and interactive presentation environment, moreover offers a perfect venue for concerts and performances as well. 44 Cultural life Our annual

cultural festivals offer over 500 programmes on average at more than 100 different venues; 320 participants enter the talent-spotting competitions organised by the university. We have 27 registered amateur artistic groups, such as choirs, theatre groups and symphonic orchestras. The cultural events organised by the university complement perfectly the wide variety of cultural programmes sponsored by the city, as the festivals also attract audiences outside the university. Since 2000 the Autumn Cultural Festival, and since 2004 the University Spring have been held annually. At these exhilarating events students of the university can demonstrate their talents alongside famous artists at the various premieres, exhibitions and meetings. The results and rankings of the athletes attending the University of Szeged clearly demonstrate that the institution is an active and successful participant in sporting events organised by universities worldwide. Furthermore, the sporting events that were

held over previous years in the city also prove that the University of Szeged is among the best in the management of sports events. All these successes reflect the university’s general attitude, that is, besides scientific results, achievements in competitive and recreational sports are equally important parts of student life. Participating in sports events and festivals, attending balls and spending nights at parties in university clubs are all as much part of the legendary university life in Szeged as is attending lectures and laboratory classes. 45 Student Life Being a sportive institution, the University of Szeged offers such a wide variety of sports activities that the time spent studying at the university proves to be too short to try out all of them. To mention just some of the less common ones: every student has the opportunity to try parachuting, horse riding, skiing, yoga; all in addition to the university’s sports associations where competitions are held in a

number of sports from fencing to basketball. Our men’s basketball team, SZTE-SZEDEAK, made it to Group B of the First Division NB I in 2007. We are proud of the many Olympic and world champion athletes, including kayaker Natasa Janics and water polo player Gergely Kiss, who have chosen the University of Szeged for their studies. Szeged has frequently been the venue for international sports events. One of the most prominent of these was the World University Squash Championship in 2006 with participants from all over the world. University club meetings, parties and performances, in the JATE-KLUB in particular, offer rich and pure entertainment to everybody. Szeged’s cultural life would be unimaginable without these events or the ones staged in student hostels. Whether looking for a film club or a place to dance or sing, everybody can find what their hearts desire among the amateur groups and associations of our university. Events of the Autumn Festival, the University Spring and

programmes of the TIK provide a foretaste of these activities for outsiders as well. During the carnival season every faculty holds its own ball with music and dance. One of the most noted ones is the traditional University Charity Ball which has become one of the most prestigious events of social life in Szeged. No wonder that after graduation many leaving students miss the joyful events they experienced during the years spent at the University of Szeged. To help them feel and enjoy the support of the institution and the warmth of the university community all their lives, former students can stay constantly in touch with the university through the Alma Mater organisation. Everybody who finds it important to participate in university life even after graduation is welcome to attend the postgraduate course fair, professional and class reunions, festive events, including the Alma Mater Christmas party, the Alma weekend and the university sports day. 46 Come to study at the University
