International Mentor training

On 12th and 13th of March We held a two half-day mentor training in English for international student mentors, new to mentoring and also for those who have been mentoring for some time now.

In connection with the national holiday of 15th March 1848, the Government of Hungary awards state honours every year. In 2024, several citizens of our university were also recognised.

15th March is a day of pure, unspoilt national unity, said Dr. András Gelencsér at the ceremony commemorating the 1848 Revolution. Quoting Friedrich Schiller, the rector of the University of Pannonia added that there are moments in a person's life when he is closer to the spirit of the world than at other times. In the life of the Hungarians, 15 March 1848 was such a moment.

One of the main virtues of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences over the past two centuries has been that while remaining faithful to its traditions, it has been able to constantly renew itself, while cherishing the traditions handed down from its predecessors and successive generations of scientists" - this was one of the main messages of the welcome speeches delivered by the members of the Presidium of the Academy at the annual general assemblies of the regional committees. As the Academy approaches its 200th anniversary, one of this year's main themes was the celebration of tradition and renewal in Debrecen, Miskolc, Pécs, Szeged and Veszprém.

Each year, the prize is awarded to inspiring researchers who have made a lasting contribution to both national and international science. In the Earth Sciences category, the award went to Edina Lengyel, a researcher at the University of Pannonia, University of Pannonia, Limnology and HUN-REN-PE Limnoecology Research Group.

Olympic silver medallist, two-time world champion, two-time European and junior world champion swimmer, and not incidentally a student of electrical engineering at the University of Pannonia. No more exams, but the thesis is still to be written. Understandably, however, Kristóf Rasovszky is not focusing on his thesis topic, the sizing of energy elements in residential buildings, but on the Paris Olympics, where he is determined to expand his medal collection. We also talked to Kristóf about the Olympics, the burden on the favourites and his Plan B on his "easy day": in addition to ten swimming sessions, he also has three land-based strength training sessions on the weekly "menu".
