In addition to the programmed courses, the University holds ad-hoc training events. In 2025 the Széchenyi István University ran an ICDL digital skills course leading to an internationally recognised certificate, together with teacher training workshops, for teachers of partner vocational schools.
In 2025, Széchenyi István University organized a micro-credential teacher training programme for educators working in Hungarian diaspora communities in the United Kingdom. The two-day programme, held at the Hungarian Consulate General in Manchester, focused on improving pedagogical methodologies through storytelling, drama pedagogy, music-based learning, cognitive skills development, and gamified approaches to identity formation. Participants from several European countries, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the Czech Republic, took part in workshops led by university experts. The programme supported the professional development of teachers and volunteers working in weekend Hungarian schools abroad, and 42 participants received micro-credentials upon successful completion.
In 2025, Széchenyi István University expanded its educational cooperation with the Audi Hungaria School Centre. The agreement supports educational progression between secondary education and higher education through curriculum alignment and recognition of prior learning. The initiative strengthens cooperation with local schools and facilitates the transition of students into higher education.
In spring 2025, Széchenyi István University continued the RESZETT programme, an educational initiative designed to promote understanding of the circular economy and sustainability through experiential learning and the LEGO Education methodology. Developed at the University, the programme combines sustainability education, robotics, programming, and hands-on learning activities for school-age learners. The programme enables children to explore sustainability challenges while actively engaging in problem-solving and technology-based learning.
As part of the programme, a fourth-grade class from the University’s Öveges Practice School completed all four RESZETT modules in the University’s LEGO experiential learning laboratory and newly established STEAM classroom. In addition, outreach sessions were delivered during Sustainability Week at the Arany János Bilingual Primary School and Kazinczy Ferenc Secondary School in Győr, introducing pupils from different age groups to sustainability concepts through interactive activities.
The programme also extended beyond the classroom through participation in the IV. Sövény Eco-Olympics, a sustainability-awareness event organized by the Municipality of Győr. University students led RESZETT-related activities and educational tasks for schoolchildren, helping participants learn about environmental responsibility and sustainable practices in a playful and engaging way.
Through the Tanítsunk Magyarországért (Teach for Hungary) 2025 programme, Széchenyi István University supports pupils living in smaller settlements by involving university students as mentors. In 2025, the University’s mentor students worked with upper-primary school pupils in partner schools across Győr-Moson-Sopron and Komárom-Esztergom counties, providing personalised support for educational progression, career orientation, and further study opportunities. At Tápszentmiklós Primary School, university mentors regularly worked with seventh- and eighth-grade pupils, helping them develop confidence, discover future educational pathways, and strengthen their motivation to continue their studies. The programme also offers university students practical experience in mentoring, communication, problem-solving, and community engagement.
In 2025, Széchenyi István University’s Mobilis Interactive Exhibition Centre and Robert Bosch Ltd. jointly implemented a skills-development programme for secondary school students aimed at preparing young people for the challenges of the digital era. The programme provided hands-on experience in robotics, artificial intelligence, microcontrollers, programming, and digital technologies. Secondary school students explored sensor technologies, data processing, machine learning concepts, image recognition, and robotics through practical workshops and project-based activities. The initiative sought to strengthen digital competences, support career orientation, and improve participants’ readiness for further education and the future labour market. Students were given the opportunity to experiment with emerging technologies and gain insight into Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 innovations through experiential learning activities.
Through its “Me and My Country” programme, Széchenyi István University involves international students in delivering educational sessions for residents of a local children’s home and the wider university community. The initiative promotes intercultural understanding, global citizenship, diversity, and social inclusion through community-based learning and cultural exchange.
In July 2025, Széchenyi István University, the Mobilis Interactive Exhibition Centre, and the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH) jointly organized the “Interstellar Connections Day” educational event in Győr. As part of the HUNOR Hungarian Astronaut Programme, primary and secondary school students had the unique opportunity to speak live with Hungarian research astronaut Tibor Kapu, who connected directly from the International Space Station.
The event was specifically designed for young learners and combined direct interaction with a scientist working in space with a full day of science communication and educational activities. Sixteen selected pupils were able to ask questions during the live radio connection, while approximately 300 participants attended the event and took part in scientific and educational programmes related to space research, technology, innovation, and scientific discovery.
In 2025, Széchenyi István University reported the successful completion of the first year of its vocational education development programme implemented through the Mobilis Interactive Exhibition Centre. The programme was carried out in cooperation with two secondary vocational schools and aimed to strengthen students’ scientific and digital competences while also supporting teachers’ professional development. During the academic year, students participated in hands-on laboratory activities, experiments, measurements, digital technology workshops, 3D printing activities, introductory artificial intelligence sessions, and programming exercises. Nearly 260 students from 14 classes took part in the digital thematic days. The programme also included teacher training workshops, an ICDL digital skills course leading to an internationally recognized certificate, and a drone club providing practical experience with modern technologies.
The Equal Opportunities Plan (2025–2027) explicitly prohibits all forms of discrimination and guarantees equal treatment regardless of age, sex, race, skin colour, nationality, mother tongue, disability, health status, religion or belief, political opinion, family status, sexual orientation, gender identity, social origin, financial status or any other personal characteristic. Széchenyi István University pays special attention to:
The Equal Opportunities Plan (2025-2027) applies to all organisational units and activities of the University. Access to the lifelong learning activities described in this section – the public library services (4.3.1), public lectures and events (4.3.2), continuing education and micro-credential programmes (4.3.3) and educational outreach activities (4.3.4) – is therefore open to all, regardless of ethnicity, religion, disability, immigration status or gender. Nationality, race, religion or belief, disability and sex are explicitly protected grounds, and the Plan also covers “any other personal characteristic”, which extends its protection to participants regardless of their immigration or refugee status.
The same principle is set out in the rules of individual services. The University Library and Archives’ Library Rules and Regulations (Article 3) state that library services may be used by anyone who complies with the Library regulations and requires information or specialised literature. The Library also offers dedicated equal-opportunity services for users with disabilities, including text-reading devices and an accessible version of the Library website for visually impaired users. Public lectures and events take place in university buildings with barrier-free entrances and lifts.
