We are happy to invite you - our international students, their mentors and other Hungarian students to our traditional End-of-term International Cultural Event.

The Visit of Students of University of Sopron to the Venice Biennale

The Venice International Art Exhibition (La Biennale di Venezia) is one of the world's most prestigious contemporary art events, held biennially in Venice, Italy. First organized in 1895 in the Giardini, which still serves as one of its primary venues, the exhibition has grown in stature and popularity, attracting an increasing number of nations eager to showcase their artists in Venice, a European capital of art. Since the 2000s, more than eighty countries have regularly participated.

At the Biennale, countries traditionally present their artists in national pavilions, with the cultural government of each nation selecting participants through a competitive process. Since the 1990s, a distinguished curator has also been invited to highlight contemporary art trends in the central pavilion. In addition to the biennial visual arts exhibitions, the Biennale has featured a regular architectural exhibition since 1980, exploring architectural trends.

This year, students from Sopron University had the opportunity to attend this grand event. A total of 96 students spent four days in the city of lagoons, where they visited not only the two primary Biennale venues (Arsenale and Giardini) but also the gallery of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, which houses masterpieces of Venetian painting. Venice itself is a living museum; among its 118 churches, many preserve works by some of Europe’s most renowned painters. Its luxurious palaces, built on piles using unique techniques, and its narrow alleyways reflect a medieval city layout.

Stipendium Hungaricum Welcome Event 2024

Find the report of Tito Kibet, our student at MSc in Environmental Engineering about the Stipendium Hungaricum Welcome Event below:

"On October 16, 2024, I had the distinct honor of attending the Stipendium Hungaricum Welcome Event at the Danubius Hotel Helia in Budapest. This event served not only as a warm welcome for new and existing scholarship holders but also celebrated the achievements of exemplary students, like myself, who were nominated for awards by their host institutions. I was accompanied by my mentor, Aaron, and two new students, Alfiya and Adrianna. Their presence made the experience even more enriching as we navigated this significant occasion together, forging new connections and sharing our unique backgrounds.
