Researchers’ Night 2025

As part of the highly successful Researchers’ Night program series, the Skills Centre welcomed visitors this year at six stations, operated by its Unit A and B.

On September 26, 2025, between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, a total of 116 enthusiastic participants had the opportunity to take a glimpse into the world of emergency care and ultrasound diagnostics, as well as the day-to-day work of anaesthesiologists, paediatricians, and internal medicine specialists.

Thanks to our simulators, visitors were immersed in a world where practice and skills development take centre stage — offering not only playful learning experiences but also the chance to acquire and refine the essential skills required in the medical profession.

Participants could choose from the following interactive sessions:

Presentation of Simulation Tools – The Fascinating World of Fetal Life

“Responsibility in Quality” professional visit to the Univerisity of Szeged Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School Skills Centre and visit to the Biobank of Univerisity of Szeged

2024.11.07.

It was the 8th company visit organized by the association during the year. Zoltán Fábián, Deputy Director for Quality of SFF SMI, welcomed the group and provided some very important information about the university: 24,000 students, 20% of whom are from 126 foreign countries, 2,800 teaching and research staff, 12 faculties, 19 doctoral schools, 200 industrial collaborations, 137 international projects.

The speaker then presented the Integrated Management System of Univerisity of Szeged, which covers a network of numerous and diverse activities within the institution.

The visit continued with a visit to the Skills Center (building tour, viewing of skill labs), during which Anita Abraham-Schliz gave a detailed and knowledgeable description of the visited Ambulance Simulator, the cardiology, mammography, ultrasound and obstetrics educational test labs.

The presentation of the Skills Center was given the maximum score by all participants who completed the satisfaction questionnaire, both in terms of content and topicality.

Joint project of the four medical simulation centers of the Visegrad countries has been completed:

“V4 Network of Medical Simulation Centres: Building Good Practices”

The project was led by Lazarski University in Warsaw, in partnership with Masaryk University in the Czech Republic, the University of Szeged, and Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. The aim of the project was to promote medical simulation training and collaboration in the V4 region, as well as to introduce the region as a valuable international partner in the growing global medical simulation industry.

At the end of the project, a joint publication titled ‘V4 Medical Simulation Centers Best Practices’ was released, which is available at the following link:
