Balaton Solar Boat Challenge 2024 - opening ceremony and first race

We are happy to announce that the CoreComm - University of Pannonia - Balatonalmádi Solar Boat Challenge has officially started!

The event was opened by Dr. János Abonyi, Rector of the University of Pannonia, with a ceremonial toast, which was a fitting start to this exciting event. The competition will take place during the whole weekend, from 23 to 25 August, in Balatonalmádi, in the Erzsébet grove, next to the pier.

This event is not only a stunning solar boat race, but also a celebration of sustainability, innovation and the unrivalled beauty of the Balaton region. We are proud to announce that the University of Pannonia team will also participate in the international field, so that representatives of our institution will also compete in this prestigious event.

The CoreComm - University of Pannonia - Balatonalmádi Solar Boat Challenge kicks off

Everything is ready for the CoreComm - University of Pannonia - Balatonalmádi Solar Boat Challenge, which promises to be an exciting competition on the shores of Lake Balaton. The event, which will take place from 23 to 25 August, will see ten teams compete against each other with their own solar-powered boats.

The competition offers a special challenge for the participants and this year again we can expect a fierce battle between the Dutch teams, who are the favourites. Of particular note, however, is the University of Pannon's own team, the Pannon Solar Boat Team, who are once again looking to prove that they are among the best in the Lake Balaton region.

We welcome everyone to the pier in Balatonalmádi to cheer the competitors live and be part of this special event.

Researchers from Nagykanizsa visited South Korea and Turkey

A researcher from the Centre's Renewable Energy Research Group visited South Korea to learn about battery reuse technology with researchers from Younsei University in Seoul. Re-use is important because the life of a battery can be extended, as once its useful life in one application is over, it can start a "new life" in another. This is what the industry calls "second life" recovery. A good example is the use of batteries that are no longer used in electric cars but can still be used elsewhere as grid batteries, which increases the flexibility of the electricity system. The same team of researchers then visited the Izmir Institute of Technology as part of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory project. On the basis of the cooperation agreement between the two institutions, the Hungarian researchers gave presentations on the circular economy to a large number of interested visitors at the Turkish partner institution
