As part of the University of Sopron’s efforts to make the spring break both relaxing and enriching, the International Office organized a special excursion for international students, combining nature, culture, and community experiences.

The highlight of the program was the ceremonial opening of the Várhely Lookout Tower, attended by distinguished guests upon the invitation of Tanulmányi Erdőgazdaság Zrt. (TAEG). The event offered students a unique opportunity to take part in a significant local occasion while enjoying the breathtaking panorama of the surrounding landscape.

As the spring break approaches, the University of Sopron is not only encouraging students to relax and recharge, but also to immerse themselves in local traditions and community experiences. In this spirit, the international peer supporters once again proved their dedication and creativity by organizing a cheerful Easter-themed program for students.

With the support of the International Office, the peer supporters hosted a lively Easter egg hunt, offering both Hungarian and international students a chance to connect, have fun, and learn more about local customs. The event centered around the traditional Easter egg hunt, where participants searched for chocolate eggs hidden across campus, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere.

Zalán Rókus Zagyva, a young forest engineering student and researcher at the University of Sopron, is currently expanding his professional and cultural horizons in South America. Supported by the Pannónia Scholarship Program, Zalán is spending his spring semester (from February 15 to May 4, 2026) conducting research in Curitiba, Brazil.

The University of Sopron recently hosted a special visit from H.E. François Lafrenière, Ambassador of Canada to Hungary, and his delegation. Beyond strengthening the internationalization of the university, the visit aimed to revive historical ties and advance future cooperation in higher education.
