Another Bridge in U.S.–Hungarian Higher Education
On June 4, Obuda University welcomed the U.S.–Hungarian delegation visiting Hungary for the Hungarian Summit. The purpose of the visit was to explore future potential collaboration opportunities with American universities.
This day marks the start of the fifth, anniversary edition of the Hungarian Summit, which has grown into one of the most significant, practice-oriented networking platforms between the United States and Hungary. This year’s central question is: Is America still the land of opportunity? And does the American dream still exist — both on an individual level and in bilateral cooperation? The event’s motto this year is “U.S. and Hungary: Together Beyond the Sky.” The summit aims to build bridges between the two countries in business, higher education, innovation, culture, sports, and the nonprofit sector.
During their visit to Obuda University, the American delegation was received by Prof. Dr. Levente Kovács, Rector of Obuda University, who presented the university’s activities, goals, and key research directions. Piros Pazaurek, President of the Hungarian Hub, Honorary Consul of Hungary in Central Florida, and producer of the Hungarian Summit, expressed her enthusiasm for future collaboration opportunities.
While on campus, the delegation also visited one of the university’s most advanced research centers — the Antal Bejczy Center for Intelligent Robotics (BARK).
The main venue of the Summit is the Gellért Campus of Corvinus University of Budapest, where Prof. Dr. Enikő Maior, Vice-Rector for Education at Obuda University, is representing the institution in the Track Sessions II – Education section. Through its participation in this professional forum, Obuda University continues to actively contribute to international dialogue on educational cooperation.
One of the Hungarian Summit’s key objectives is to strengthen ties between Hungarian and American higher education institutions, with a special focus on promoting faculty and student mobility. The event not only fosters professional dialogue but also lays the groundwork for concrete, long-term inter-institutional collaborations. For Obuda University, this kind of international presence is a strategic priority, as it aims to play an active role in the global innovation ecosystem and expand its inter-university partnerships. Collaboration with American universities can open up new opportunities for students and faculty through joint research, mobility programs, and innovation initiatives.
