The general properties and the resistance of so-called aerogel materials, which are increasingly used in the construction, automotive, aerospace and oil industries, have been tested at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Debrecen. The consequent findings of our researchers may contribute to further growth in the application of aerogels.
From to, to the application of AI, digital twins, and integrated modeling to climate and air quality protection, the Participants of a two-day CITDS Information Technology and Data Science Conference, hosted by the Faculty of Informatics of the University of Debrecen were able to get familiar with numerous IT innovations, including the challenges of autonomous driving, new paradigms of artificial intelligence and the application of AI, digital twins, and integrated modeling of climate and air quality protection. Once again, the central element of the event was the interaction of artificial intelligence and various technologies.
An international symposium was held at the Faculty of Informatics at the University of Debrecen on new trends in artificial intelligence, the innovative possibilities and challenges of the technology, and the significance of industry certifications and exam opportunities available in this field. At the AIDA AICET 2026 event, experts summarized, among other topics, the impact of machine learning, large language models, and agent-based systems on science.
Researchers at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Debrecen have investigated a physico-chemical treatment method for so-called bathroom greywater (BGW). This is water that has already been used once in the bathroom (gently) but can be reused for certain non-potable purposes after treatment. The findings were published in the journal Results in Engineering. This article has also been honored with a Count István Tisza Foundation for the University of Debrecen and the University of Debrecen Publication Award.

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 now-traditional international student conference hosted by the Faculty of Science and Technology (TTK) at the University of Debrecen covered a wide range of exciting topics from drone wing technology to the urban heat island effect and nanotechnology. The event’s goal is to promote research and foster scientific collaboration among the faculty’s extremely diverse community, which brings together more than a hundred nationalities.
The University and National Library of the University of Debrecen (DEENK) has joined the exhibition celebrating the 100-year history of the Collegium Hungaricum in Vienna, regarded as one of the cradles of Hungarian cultural and academic diplomacy. DEENK contributed to the exhibition’s rich collection with unique and rare volumes evoking contemporary Vienna and the early years of the collegium.
