A talented student from the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Debrecen won the world championship title in the IT security category at the Digital Skills Cup, a global online IT and technology competition for digital professionals. The senior student majoring in computer science and software engineering competed against regional champions from sixty-four countries and triumphed in a large and highly qualified field.
Researchers of the Faculty of Informatics at the University of Debrecen could find out about the most recent trends and developments in the fields of artificial intelligence, industrial digitalization, university-industry collaboration and startup ecosystems at the Chinese-Hungarian AIM (Artificial Intelligence Management) Summit held in Shenzhen, one of the most dynamically developing technology and innovation hubs in the People’s Republic of China. As a result of their recent visit, extensive professional cooperation may develop in the future between the Faculty of Informatics at the University of Debrecen and quite a few of the key actors in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong innovation and academic region.
The current challenges and future directions of modern computer systems and network technologies were presented at the ISNODA 2026 international workshop held at the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Debrecen. The event provided a comprehensive overview of how these technologies relate to the fields of artificial intelligence and data-driven operations, and how they contribute to the efficient functioning of modern digital systems.
Through their basic research activity, researchers from the University of Debrecen and HUN-REN ATOMKI have contributed to the development of an innovative detector technology that could lead to significant advances, for example, in areas such as medical imaging systems. The researchers have reached the conclusion that the high-precision time-of-flight detector under scrutiny is equally suitable for use in large-scale physics experiments and in applications used by the general public.
Researchers at the University of Debrecen, together with their colleagues at HUN-REN ATOMKI, have developed a new test system that aims to help examine the high-voltage power supplies of detectors used to observe new physical phenomena discovered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. This new measuring device is capable of simulating up to ten times the load of current.
The Faculty of Informatics of the University of Debrecen and Odessa National University of Technology (ONTU) are involved in planning to cooperate in the field of offering online courses, designing joint research projects and promoting joint publications. Four staff members of one of the largest universities in Ukraine have recently visited the University of Debrecen, where they got acquainted with the activities carried out at the Faculty of Informatics and the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management, while discussing plans for further joint professional collaboration opportunities.
Issues such as the emergence of virtualization and cloud computing, as well as the role of artificial intelligence in networking, were discussed recently by experts at the innovation workshop hosted by Department of Information Systems and Networks of the Faculty of Informatics at the University of Debrecen.
