For the next five days, science is going to be the main actor at the University of Dunaújváros.
The Week of Science at the University of Dunaújváros was started with the opening ceremony of the III. East West Cohesion Conference. The now-traditional series of events this year marks the motto "Boundless science from east to west". In the next four days, students can participate in conferences, workshops, career selections, pasta-bridge building competitions and talent forums.
Dr. István András, Rector of the University of Dunaújváros, related to the Week of Science, said that the event is always a holiday in the life of the university. This is especially the case, since the institution will be the venue of a major event that is significant not only for the university but also for the whole country. On Friday afternoon, the virtual foundation stone laying ceremony of the University of Dunaújváros Paks Competence Research Center will be held. A tripartite agreement is signed by János Süli Minister, the MVM Paks II. Zrt. and the University of Dunaújváros.

Students from the University of Dunaújváros are also taking part in the LEXI AI Generation Contest competition.
The aim of the international competition that has been launched at the University of Pécs on 8th October is to point out the fact that applied artificial intelligence does not require the contribution of software engineers today. Future legal practitioners, economists, and various business professionals are already having the IT and industry skills/competences that make them able to use AI business applications after their graduation.
Besides the University of Dunaújváros several Hungarian higher education institutions joined the international competition. There is also a great interest from abroad: universities in Russia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia are also participating in the competition.

One of the main missions of the University of Dunaújváros is to be a university that provides such strong professional knowledge within engineering and IT field that is nationally and internationally attractive.
It is equally important for the university to strenghten its professional position in the field of social sciences and teacher education. This endeavor is supported by the 30 million HUF tender that the university won from the Pallas Athene Domus Educationis Foundation, supplemented by the university’s 3 million HUF.
With the support of Pallas Athene Domus Educationis Foundation, the University of Dunaújváros is launching a project aimed to develop the extracurricular economics competences of the students of Business Administration and Management BA. The knowledge this program provides to the students will be useful in their future work and public duties and also results in a significant improvement of their professional skills. The program consists of 4 sub-programs. All of them provide opportunities for both professional and individual development.
Sub-programs:
- Developing online courses, providing online training
- Organizing conferences
- Implementing international teacher and student mobility
- Organizing summer-university
Based on the latest curricula developed during the last few months the online training has been launched on 8th October. The main target group are Business Administration students, but students from other majors also have the chance to complete the courses. The first half of the two semester focuses on the inividual, while the second half focuses on the society and new aspirations, embracing 4-4 topics in each semester. The website created within the framework of the tender provides students access to the curriculum and all informations needed during the year.
The conference related to the PADE program will take place ont he 14th October this year within the framework of the Week of Science program series of the university. Besides the developers of curricula, experts from abroad will also be invited to present their research results.
International experience and professional brainstorming is also an imprtant element of the project. During the academic year, within the framework of the project, 15-20 students will have the opportunity to particpate in a field trip abroad. The first trip will take place in the second half of October by visiting the Instituto Politecnico de Leiria in Leiria, Portugal. Within the framework of the one-week program, students will attend professinal lectures and workshops to familiarize themselves with the training and financial structure of the university and to have an insight into the international aspects of economy.
The project will be closed by a 6 weeks long summer-university, which will contain trainings for developing competency and interactive workshops that will provide students successful employment in the labour market.

For example, hundreds of visitors could learn about MAIDLAB's work in the Hungarian Acoustic Industrial Diagnostic Laboratory such as: - screening solid bodies with ultrasonic scanners; detecting surface scars of solid bodies with eddy current scanners; displaying standing waves in Kundt tube - fast-paced examinations; endoscopy; sound source localization; visualization of sounds on real-time spectrogram.
Like last year, most of the attendants were curious about dr. Miklós Horváth’s (Director of the Institute of Engineering at the University of Dunaújváros) presentation, entitled: "Let's Prevent Gravity! Spectacular Physics Experiments!" The participants could experience fascinating, interesting phenomenons presented through demonstration tools, illustrating physics of them by tools like Van den Graaf generator - Lenz cannon - Gauss cannon - Magnet levitation - Superconducting: Meissner effect - Quantum levitation - Thermoacoustic Rijke tube - Water boiling at room temperature - Magdeburg hemispheres - Nitrogen rocket.
Those who were interested in media were acquainted with the mystery of the autocue, broadcasting, greenbox, and studio cameras at the University's television studio.
During this year's Researchers' Night took part two hundred and seventy places across the country, nearly three thousand programs were presented to everybody from youngsters to elders to make researchers’ job more attractive.
