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.
