The University of Sopron has successfully reached the finals of the 2026 International Green Gown Awards. The institution secured its finalist status in the Nature Positive category with its project entry titled "Rooted Futures – Rooted in Nature. Growing the Future. Connected living ecosystems across Hungary."

Forestry students at the University of Sopron have received outstanding international professional recognition: the International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA), one of the world's largest organizations for forestry students, has chosen them to host this year’s international meeting for the Southern European region. Beyond professional success, this opportunity is a significant honor for the Sopron student community, as the organization only grants a few locations per year the chance to host an international event of this magnitude.

Something like this has never happened before: our campus saw its first-ever mixed football tournament, bringing together Hungarian and international students for a day of goals, teamwork, and fun.

As the sunny weather finally arrived, the International Office organized a special football match that invited both local and international students to showcase their skills. The turnout was fantastic: 28 players took to the field, while many more joined as enthusiastic spectators to cheer from the sidelines.
