Researchers’ Night (Kutatók Éjszakája). In 2025, Széchenyi István University once again participated in Researchers’ Night (Kutatók Éjszakája), one of Europe’s largest science communication festivals. The event was open to the public and aimed to make scientific research accessible and engaging for people of all ages. Visitors could attend lectures, laboratory demonstrations, interactive exhibitions, and educational activities delivered by university researchers and staff. Through programmes focusing on health, wellbeing, neuroscience, decision-making processes, and preventive healthcare, participants gained first-hand experience of how scientific research contributes to everyday life and societal development. The initiative promotes public understanding of science, lifelong learning, and community engagement with research and innovation.
