Between 10th and 15th November higher education information days were organized under the auspices of the EU. Besides a general overview on the Hungarian higher education and the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship programme, the University of Sopron and our English language study programmes were introduced as well, plus our promotion materials were shared with the attendees and the Hungarian consulate in Laos, all thanks to Dr. László Váradi Honorary Consul.
“Forests are a significant resource in Laos and modern forestry and wood engineering require well-trained professionals. In the recent decades, there has been contact in this area, partly through the work of Hungarian experts and partly through the training of Lao specialists in Hungary, although these activities can be described as quite moderate and in my view, there are great opportunities in forestry cooperation even beyond the core study programmes in Hungary.”
Dr. László Váradi
Honorary Consul of the Lao PDR in Hungary
The booth where the promotion materials of the University of Sopron were displayed was visited by approximately 300 prosperous students, as well as Dr. Phout Simmalavong, the Lao Minister of Education and Sports and László Takács, Head of Office in Vientiane, Consul and Diplomat. Many other high-ranking international and educational representatives were also present at the event.

As the Centre for International Affairs, we would like to express our gratitude to Dr. László Váradi and Dr. Lénárt István for their efforts in the promotion and internationalization of the University of Sopron.
