40th Anniversary Alumni Reunion – Just a Few Days Away!
More than 100 graduates from across the globe have registered, and together with their partners and family members, we are delighted to welcome around 150 guests to this milestone celebration.
The weekend will open on Friday, 3 October, with a scientific program featuring CME lectures by distinguished alumni in the fields of emergency medicine, psychiatry, pain management, and Parkinson’s disease. These sessions will also be streamed online so that those unable to attend in person can join. You can follow the presentations here: https://youtube.com/live/1LXU-3wvKQA?feature=share
Saturday’s highlights include a Brunch with Professors, a campus tour, and the Students Meet Alumni Forum, where current students will have the chance to ask alumni directly about working in different countries and specialties. Meanwhile, family members can enjoy specially designed programs such as a natural cosmetics workshop and a Hungarian specialties cooking class.
The centerpiece of the weekend will be the Gala Dinner on Saturday evening at the József Attila Study and Information Centre (TIK), featuring welcome speeches, an award ceremony, and a festive evening of dining, music, and celebration.
Finally, on Sunday, 5 October, guests will have the option to join social programs, including a boat trip on the Tisza River and a sightseeing tour of Szeged’s city centre.
We look forward to welcoming our alumni community, their families, and friends back to Szeged to celebrate this very special anniversary together.

More than twenty-five years ago, a research initiative on methane was launched in Szeged, opening entirely new perspectives on how inflammatory processes can be treated. Today, methane – once dismissed as an inert atmospheric bystander – is emerging as a surprising ally in the fight against inflammation. Building on this long-running work, Professor Dr. Mihály Boros and his team are now exploring methane’s biological effects in research that may reshape how we understand and treat inflammatory diseases. We spoke with Professor Boros about the discoveries emerging from their project, supported by HU-rizon, an international research-excellence program funded by Hungary’s National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NRDI Office).
The University of Szeged has reached another major milestone: on September 12, Prof. Dr. Daniel Kendoff – a world-renowned orthopedic and trauma surgeon, specialist in robot-assisted surgery, and Director of the ENDO Clinic in Berlin – performed the first CORI robot-assisted hip replacement surgery at the Department of Traumatology and Orthopaedics at SZTE’s Clinical Center. This was the first time such an operation was carried out within the framework of the publicly funded healthcare system in Hungary.
