After serving as a host last year, Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University is once again taking on a hosting role at EFOTT. This time, however, it is doing so together with three other Hungarian higher education institutions to celebrate the festival\u2019s jubilee anniversary. Festival-goers can look forward to a wide range of activities between 8 and 11 July, offering not only a taste of the Sz\u00e9chenyi experience but also insights into the University\u2019s research and development activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first EFOTT \u2013 the National Tourist Meeting of University and College Students \u2013 was held in July 1976 at a holiday resort near Abaliget. What made the event unique was that it was organised each year by a different higher education institution, meaning that its location changed from year to year. This tradition continued until 2014, when the festival found a permanent home on the shores of Lake Velence. By then, it had evolved into a multi-day music festival while still retaining its student-centred character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organisers marked the 50th anniversary with a special opening-day programme on 8 July: a four-hour marathon concert tracing the evolution of Hungarian popular music from the pop culture icons of the 1970s to today\u2019s biggest stars, reflecting the festival\u2019s own development over the past five decades. Another unique feature of this year\u2019s edition is that the hosting role is shared by four universities rather than just one. Alongside Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, which made a highly successful debut as host last year, the co-hosts are Budapest Business University, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University and the University of Pannonia in Veszpr\u00e9m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe four-university model allows the diversity of Hungarian higher education to be showcased more effectively. It is also a positive development that students from the organising institutions have once again shown strong interest in the event. This year has been no exception. It is particularly rewarding that we, as hosts, have also learned from one another and established excellent professional connections,\u201d<\/em> said Eszter Pajor, Marketing Specialist at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University\u2019s exhibition area is located within Universum, a dedicated zone for university, corporate and civil society exhibitors. Here, the institution presents its academic programmes, developments and opportunities through a different thematic focus each day. Precision agriculture, engineering innovation and health technology will take centre stage, while visitors can also enjoy a drone exhibition, virtual reality demonstrations and interactive simulations. On Saturday, Uni-Medicampus Ltd., a company owned by the University, will offer on-site health assessments. Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to try impairment goggles and a reflex-testing game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithin our festival courtyard, we have created a chill zone as well as a beauty corner, where volunteers from the Student Union offer make-up services, hair braiding and festival tattoos. Two of our partners, E.ON and Waberer\u2019s, are also joining us with a range of exciting activities and surprises. In the bar we operate together with the other hosts, DJs from the College Studio will provide the entertainment. In addition, festival-goers can meet us at right at the entrance through a checkpoint challenge, with lucky winners being transported to the festival gates by golf cart,\u201d<\/em> added Eszter Pajor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the opening press conference, Gerg\u0151 L\u0151rincz, Director of Services and Branding at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, emphasised that the institution is proud to once again be among the hosts. He explained that, in addition to conveying the unique Sz\u00e9chenyi spirit, the University aims to demonstrate its innovative approach through thematic days running from Thursday to Saturday. \u201cWe are continuously developing our programmes and working to provide our ever-growing community of nearly 17,000 students with up-to-date, practical knowledge that meets the needs of the labour market,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organisers also announced that the 50th EFOTT will be the last edition held in the Lake Velence region. From 2027 onwards, the event will relocate to Esztergom. Until then, current, prospective and former students, as well as all interested visitors, are invited to Sukor\u00f3 to give the venue a fitting farewell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
