Thu, 02 Oct 2025 09:50:00 +0200 HU-rizon Roadshow in Szeged 3. - Reading the “mind” of AI http://rss.nkfih.gov.hu/main.php?folderID=13827&objectID=5656055 Artificial intelligence has become an inseparable part of our daily lives. These days many people turn not to another person but to a chatbot for answers, and instead of digging through the internet or drafting texts themselves, they hand the job over to a large language model. But what actually happens inside the “brain” of artificial intelligence when it replies to us? This topic is the subject of numerous international research projects. In Hungary, it is also a key focus area of the NRDI Office’s HU-rizon Programme.

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 15:18:00 +0200 HU-rizon Roadshow in Szeged 2 - What’s hidden in our environment? http://rss.nkfih.gov.hu/main.php?folderID=13827&objectID=5655988 Humanity has always observed and studied its surroundings. Today, we have access to methods that, just a few years ago, would have belonged to the realm of science fiction. We can now explore previously undetectable spectrums of the world using tools and techniques that were once completely unknown. Thanks to the HU-rizon Programme, initiated and funded by Hungary to support international research collaborations, there are two environmental research projects currently underway at the University of Szeged that take our ability to detect environmental hazards to the next level. Thu, 18 Sep 2025 14:39:00 +0200 The decision has been made regarding the priority call for proposals titled “Establishing the János Selye Student Laboratory Network” with the code “2025-1.3.1-DIÁKLABOR" http://rss.nkfih.gov.hu/main.php?folderID=13821&objectID=5655981 The aim of the priority call “Establishing the János Selye Student Laboratory Network”, announced from the NRDI Fund (hereinafter: Priority Call), is to enable the previously established Student Laboratories to further develop their activities and to ensure that their results can also be utilised across the borders of Hungary. Another key objective is to broaden access to entities and programmes engaged in career orientation activities related to STEM fields available in Hungary. This contributes to the promotion of research and development careers among primary and secondary school students, encourages students to pursue scientific paths, and, in the long term, helps increase the number of students and professionals in STEM disciplines. A particularly important aspect – through re-granted funding – is to promote gender equality within the various scientific fields, therefore the Priority Call also aims to encourage the active participation of women in STEM activities.
