Are you about to enter Pázmány ITK as an international student? Read the article below to see what our international students thought of their orientation week!

On 8 September, the graduation ceremony of the Image Processing and Computer Vision (IPCV) Master’s programme took place at our Faculty. The IPCV is a joint degree programme offered by Pázmány Péter Catholic University (PPKE ITK), Université de Bordeaux (France), and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM, Spain).

As part of the ongoing collaboration between Pázmány ITK and Seoul National University (SNU), Dr. Kristóf Karacs, lecturer and researcher at our faculty, was invited as a guest lecturer to teach a course at SNU’s International Summer Program.

Artur Sahakyan, a Computer Engineering Masters student at Pázmány ITK, will travel to Singapore to compete in the Global Finals of the International Quant Championship. The first-place prize is $20,000 for the winning team. Artur will be accompanied by Dean Dr. György Cserey. Artur is currently studying computer engineering with a specialisation in machine learning.  

A Hungarian innovation may expedite the journey from the laboratory to the patient. 

Gene therapies could potentially transform the treatment of many severe diseases, but their success is often obstructed. Pre-existing antibodies in the body, which may neutralize these therapies, often cost hundreds of thousands of euros. Addressing this impediment, Hungarian researchers have created a new diagnostic method called coreTIA. For the first time, it provides scientists with an open-source tool, paving the way towards a global diagnostic standard. 

Yesterday, the mentors and international coordinators met at the Faculty to discuss the increasing influx of international students. Students will arrive for Orientation Week on Monday, September 1st, for a week of social events and activities, organised by the mentors. The meeting focused on how the mentors will ensure safety and stability for their mentees, as they adjust to Hungarian academic life.  

Three-day professional workshop hosted by Pázmány ITK

Last week, the Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics of Pázmány Péter Catholic University had the honour of receiving a distinguished delegation from the Department of Science and Technology of Hubei Province, China, accompanied by a professor from Wuhan University.

Students and researchers from five European universities joined our Lab-on-a-Chip for Biomedical Use Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme last week.
