Evosoft established two industrial chairs at Óbuda University

A special sign announcing that evosoft Hungary Kft., one of the leading software development companies in Hungary has established two industrial chairs at Óbuda University. These are:

  • Research and Development Department (at the John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics)
  • Industry 4.0 Department (at the Kandó Kálmán Faculty of Electrical Engineering)

„The new industrial departments will provide our students with new opportunities to learn about the latest computing processes, developments and tools,” said Levente Kovács, rector of Óbuda University, at the displaying of signs announcing the launching of the new industrial departments at the headquarters of evosoft Hungary Kft.

The agreement on the establishment of the departments was signed by the university and the company in October. The new industrial chairs, established as a result of several years of cooperation, will allow the company to become more involved in educational activities, add more subjects to the curriculum and provide students with a place for practical training.

„As the leading practice-oriented university in Hungarian technical higher education, our goal is to involve market players in our activities as intensively as possible in order to meet the challenges of Industry 4.0. The establishment of the industrial departments also serves this goal” – said Levente Kovács at the signing of the agreement on the establishment of the two industrial departments.

evosoft Hungary is 100 per cent owned by Siemens, within which it belongs to the Siemens Advanta unit.

Harvard professors come to Semmelweis

Under the terms of the letter of agreement, which was signed on 9 December, the HMS’s Central Europe Clinical Scholars Research Training program will start in July 2023 and run through June 2026.

The US institution will be responsible for the curriculum and delivery of the training. Semmelweis University (SE) will contribute 50 per cent of the tuition costs for 50 participants in each annual program, or $250,000 per year for this purpose. The program is also open to candidates from neighbouring countries in the Central and Eastern European region – SE said in a press release.

The curriculum will help participants to develop skills essential to pursue high-quality clinical research, including epidemiology, biostatistics, ethics, and leadership.

Students enrolled in the nine-month program will participate in live workshops and webinars, complete individual and team assignments, and independently engage with hours of on-demand, recorded lectures.

[kiemelt]On average, participants are expected to spend 7-10 hours per week with the program content and projects. Three residential workshops anchor the program: Workshop 1 in Budapest, Workshop 2 online, and Workshop 3 in Boston.[/kiemelt]

Participants who have satisfactorily completed the program requirements shall receive a Certificate of Completion signed by the course director(s).

HMS chose the SE for a reason: as we wrote in the autumn, Semmelweis became the first Hungarian university to be ranked among the top 250 universities in the world by Times Higher Education (THE). We reported also earlier that in the US News Best Global Universities 2023 ranking, Semmelweis University has moved up 12 positions from last year’s ranking in cardiology and cardiovascular systems, to 43rd position.

How companies and universities can make a real win-win situation

Corvinus University and MVM

In the context of the cooperation, MVM Group provides professional support for the training courses of the Corvinus University of Budapest. Its employees participate in the development of teaching materials tailored to the needs of the company, provide expert support for educational background work, offer consulting services for the preparation of theses and TDK dissertations, act as guest speakers, organise factory visits to share their professional experience with university students, and offer work placements. Corvinus also undertakes to help the MVM Group select the most appropriate trainee candidates, to contribute to the professional training of its staff, and to perform research and methodological development on topics requested by the company.

Consortium between MATE and Energofish-Czikkhalas

A consortium of the Hungarian University of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Energofish and Czikkhalas Kft. is working on a project worth more than HUF 700 million to develop environmentally friendly fishing gear and technologies for the production of two native fish species.

Amongst others, the project included the development of a product that could replace shotgun pellets used in fishing. Lead, which is toxic to the ecosystem, is estimated to be consumed in the EU fishing tackle trade at a rate of 6,000-8,000 tonnes per year. The new product would be produced using a similar or higher atomic weight material, which is safer for the environment. In addition, rubber maize, which is also used in large quantities as fish bait, would be transformed so that it can degrade relatively quickly and completely in nature.

MATE and Béke Agrár Kft.

A sensor will monitor the health parameters of cattle, for the development of which the consortium of Béke Agrár Kft., a livestock breeding company based in Orosháza, and the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE) has won a development grant from the European Union worth HUF 600 million.

The R&D project aims to develop a lifetime wearable, wireless rechargeable, slowly discharging sensor for cattle that monitors body temperature, movement activity and position. And through a phone app, it sends an alert to the owner if intervention is required. Based on heart rate analysis, this would allow early detection of diseases, stress conditions, and reliable indication of breeding and calving.

TF and MTK

Even if it is not a traditional corporate cooperation, the recent cooperation between the Hungarian University of Sports Science (TF) and the Sándor Károly Football Academy of MTK Budapest is a win-win situation.

Students of the institution can benefit from being able to attend training sessions and courses at a high level academy. And TF is pleased when clubs are open to their scientific results, use them in practice and do not „just” do research for books and studies.
