The University of Dunaújváros in Hungary invites students, families, industry partners and science enthusiasts to Researchers’ Night on 26 September 2025. Designed to showcase the breadth of our applied research, the event will begin at 6 pm and run through the evening in several key buildings—A, P, M, C, and the DUE TV studio. Each venue will host live experiments, demonstrations, and interactive sessions that illustrate the real‑world impact of engineering, natural sciences, and information technology.
Building A hosts a series of short‑form experiments that illustrate principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, and control engineering. Visitors can watch automated test rigs in action and learn how a simple motor design becomes an industrial component.
In Building P, biology and chemistry labs offer live demonstrations of molecular imaging and field sampling. Bring your curiosity—specimens from local wetlands will be examined under microscopes, while students explain the scientific methods behind the observations.
Mathematical modeling and algorithmic solutions will be displayed in Building M. Run-throughs of the university’s software development pipeline— from requirement gathering to deployment—give an inside look at how research software evolves into commercial tools.
Collaboration between disciplines is a core value at UOD. Build C houses cross‑functional exhibitions that blend robotics with materials science, illustrating how integrated design creates novel devices for industry and society.
The studio will air live segments to the campus community and beyond, featuring interviews with researchers, behind‑the‑scenes tours, and audience Q&A. Capture the moment on social media and share the excitement.
• Date: 26 September 2025
• Time: 6:00 pm – 10:30 pm (travel time between locations)
• Location: University of Dunaújváros campus, H-2400 Hungary
• What to bring: Comfortable clothing, a notebook, and a question you’d like to ask a researcher.
Attendees must register online through the official event site at kutatokejszakaja.hu. Spot limits apply, so register early to secure entry.
Before the event, review the university’s news archive for recent breakthroughs. If you are on campus, check the campus map to plan your route between buildings. For transportation, regional trains and buses stop at Dunaújváros Station—rideshare options are available for last‑mile access.
Researchers’ Night is not solely an exhibition; it’s also a business development forum. Faculty members make themselves available for brief conversations after each session. Use these moments to discuss potential collaborations, internship prospects, or graduate study programs. The university offers a range of programmes such as Business Administration & Management BA, Materials Engineering BSc, and Computer Science Engineering BSc—all of which are highlighted during the evening.
American Science Week has highlighted the importance of public outreach. By attending, you demonstrate your support for local research, gain exposure to cutting‑edge techniques, and build relationships that may lead to future employment or academic opportunities. Bring a friend or colleague to share the experience and foster a culture of curiosity.
Following the event, the university will publish a gallery of photos, videos, and interview transcripts. Contributors can view and share these resources on the Student Magazine. If you found the evening inspiring, consider writing a reflection or caption for the next issue.
When you finish the evening, stay for the informal discussion roundtable at the campus cafeteria, where you can ask deeper questions and propose research projects. Professionals from industry partners have pledged to sponsor undergraduate projects, so inquire about those opportunities as well.
The University of Dunaújváros hosts several research centres: the Institute of Engineering Sciences, the Institute of Social Sciences, and the Institute of Information Technology. Each provides state‑of‑the‑art facilities and multi‑disciplinary programmes strengthening our applied science output.
