Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University recently held another MobiliTea information event, providing students with details of study abroad and scholarship opportunities. On 13 October, the Council of the European Union decided to lift restrictions affecting institutions maintained by public interest asset management foundations in Hungary, allowing them to apply for funding under the Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe programmes once again. The decision also opens up new opportunities for the University in Gy\u0151r in terms of international cooperation and students gaining experience abroad. Over a cup of tea, attendees could chat informally with former scholarship recipients, exchange students studying at the University and staff from the Centre for Mobility and Scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are delighted that the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ programme are once again opening up to our students. In recent years, the Pann\u00f3nia Scholarship Programme has provided them with a wide range of opportunities to gain experience abroad, and now the range of scholarships available to them can expand once again. We believe it is important for young people to learn about as many opportunities as possible and find the programme that best suits their studies and goals. A semester abroad, or even a shorter study trip, can provide not only new knowledge and connections but also experience that students can draw on later in their careers,\u201d<\/em> said M\u00e1rta M\u00e9sz\u00e1ros, Head of the Centre for Mobility and Scholarships at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n M\u00e1rta M\u00e9sz\u00e1ros, Head of the Centre for Mobility and Scholarships at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, at the MobiliTea event.

Two former scholarship recipients also shared their experiences with attendees: Erwan Frieska spoke about his time abroad under the Pann\u00f3nia Scholarship Programme, while \u00c1kos Vida discussed his experiences through the Stipendium Peregrinum programme.<\/p>\n\n\n Erwan Frieska studied at Nagoya University in Japan through a short-term research mobility opportunity under the Pann\u00f3nia Scholarship Programme.

In addition to scholarship periods lasting 2\u201312 months, shorter intensive programmes lasting 5\u201330 days and combining in-person and online learning are also available. Depending on the destination country and the activity chosen, grants may range from \u20ac540 to \u20ac750 per month, with additional funding available under certain conditions. Specific opportunities to participate will depend on institutional calls for applications and available funding.<\/p>\n\n\n Once again, many students showed an interest in the study abroad and scholarship opportunities presented at the MobiliTea event.

Through this Hungarian-funded initiative, students at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University can gain international experience at institutions both within and outside Europe. The programme supports study, research and internship periods lasting 2\u20136 months, as well as shorter visits of 2\u201330 days. Depending on the destination country, long-term scholarships may range from HUF 350,000 to HUF 400,000 per month, while short-term grants may amount to HUF 25,000\u201330,000 per day. The excellence scholarship also provides opportunities to study or conduct research at one of the world\u2019s top 250 higher education institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students could also learn about the CEEPUS programme, which is based on cooperation between higher education institutions in Central and South-Eastern Europe. The programme offers opportunities to study abroad or work on a thesis in Austria, Poland, Slovenia and several other countries in the region. Grant amounts are determined by the host country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MobiliTea also covered eligibility requirements and practical aspects of the application process. Scholarship applications are assessed on the basis of academic performance, language proficiency, community involvement and extracurricular achievements. Participants also received information on how to choose a host institution, which documents are required and how courses completed and credits earned abroad can be recognised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-54-1024x683.png\")
