The meeting included discussions on enhancing bilateral relations between the two countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University\u2019s strategic goal is to continuously expand its international partnerships to support regional development. The institution places great importance on fostering increasingly close ties with Japan, with which it has already signed cooperation agreements with three universities. In addition, several Japanese students are currently studying in Gy\u0151r. Cultural understanding has also been enriched by the participation of the Faculty of Design and Performance Arts\u2019 Student String Orchestra, alongside the world-renowned J\u00e1vorkai brothers, in an Advent concert tour in Japan last December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another step forward in this process was the visit of Her Excellency Hikariko Ono to the University on 15 April. Dr Eszter Luk\u00e1cs, Vice President for International Affairs and Strategic Relations, presented the history, mission, and international strategy of the institution. She emphasised that Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University maintains the closest industrial partnerships among Hungarian higher education institutions, with Audi Hungaria as its number one partner. She added that Gy\u0151r\u2019s geographical location\u2014close to three capitals, Budapest, Vienna, and Bratislava\u2014offers a significant advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also highlighted that with more than 50 English-taught programmes offered, the University provides a wide range of opportunities for international students. It is no coincidence that out of the nearly 15,000 students enrolled, around one thousand come from abroad, representing nearly 80 countries worldwide. Dr Luk\u00e1cs also noted that the University&#8217;s high quality is demonstrated by its inclusion in a total of eight subject-specific, sustainability, European, and global rankings published by Quacquarelli Symonds and Times Higher Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-4-1024x602.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-4-1024x602.png 1024w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-4-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-4-768x452.png 768w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-4-1536x903.png 1536w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-4-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-4.png 1799w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Representatives of Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University with Japanese guests in the Senate Room (Photo: M\u00e1t\u00e9 Dud\u00e1s)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the visit, Her Excellency Hikariko Ono expressed her great honour at being able to visit the beautiful city of Gy\u0151r and spoke highly of the University&#8217;s development.
