Women in Science Excellence Awards Presented – Viktória Sugár PhD Receives the Recognition from Our University
In the Engineering Sciences category, architect Viktória Sugár PhD from our university received this year's Women in Science Excellence Award at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Presented for the thirteenth time, the award honors the outstanding scientific achievements, community leadership, and mentoring activities of female researchers. The recognition was earned by professionals who have made a lasting impact at both national and international levels, while actively promoting careers in engineering and science among young girls.
Viktória Sugár PhD, Associate Professor and Vice-Rector for Sustainability and Strategic Development at Obuda University, focuses her research at the intersection of architecture, energetics, and climate adaptation. Through her theoretical and practical work, she examines how to make our cities, existing buildings, and residential houses more liveable, sustainable, and energy-efficient, allowing them to better adapt to the challenges of climate change while preserving their original character. For her, historical residential buildings are not merely engineering structures, but cultural heritage and community spaces whose future depends on responsible professional decisions. Her research in this field is of paramount importance, as it shapes the quality of the urban environment and the living conditions of future generations in the long term.
The Nature-award-winning Association of Hungarian Women in Science (NaTE) established the Women in Science Excellence Award in 2013 to recognize the work of the most successful young female researchers in their respective fields. The award is presented year after year under the patronage of the Hungarian National Commission for UNESCO.
The Association of Hungarian Women in Science (NaTE) is an independent network of women working in technology-oriented fields. Its goal is to build a supportive community where members can draw inspiration from one another, exchange professional, leadership, and personal experiences, and share their achievements and successes. By showcasing, honoring, and creating role models out of successful innovators in tech professions, and through practical programs, workshops, trainings, and conferences, they work with a perspective-shaping purpose to promote and spread an equal opportunity mindset based on professional knowledge and qualifications.
