One of Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University\u2019s strategic objectives is to contribute to building a sustainable future and advancing the green transition. A central role in this effort is played by the Department of Applied Sustainability, which focuses on education and research in renewable energy utilization, energy innovation, and the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) approach. For the University, it is essential that academic programmes are built on real industrial collaborations and provide students with practical knowledge that is increasingly in demand in the renewable energy sector. The cooperation agreement with Green Energy Investhor Plc marks another milestone in this strategic direction, as the company\u2019s practical experience and technological expertise will be directly integrated into the University\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, it is important that its programmes are based on real industrial partnerships.

The company develops complex, interlinked systems that integrate solar and wind power plants with intelligent energy storage solutions, ensuring that the green energy produced is available continuously, reliably and efficiently. Through its completed and ongoing projects, the company makes a significant contribution to national energy security and to economic growth based on clean energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On December 10, the two organizations concluded a strategic agreement under which they will work closely together in education, research and development, and training. Experts from Green Energy Investhor Plc will deliver lectures and seminars on the utilization of renewable energy sources and will also support the supervision of student research projects (TDK) and thesis work. The company will provide internship opportunities, particularly for students enrolled in the Environmental Engineering bachelor\u2019s programme and the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Expert master\u2019s programme, enabling young professionals to gain experience in a real corporate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company will also offer professional support for doctoral research. In addition, the partnership extends to the organization of events, roundtable discussions, and conference participation aimed at increasing public and professional awareness of renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSustainable energy is one of the most dynamically developing fields today, in which universities must simultaneously respond to research trends, the needs of economic stakeholders, and students\u2019 expectations. This cooperation is especially valuable for us because it brings corporate experience directly into education in ways that are closely aligned with our academic programmes,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Dr Andr\u00e1s Torma, Head of the Department of Applied Sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n \u201cThe agreement with Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University represents an important milestone, as it supports both Hungary\u2019s green transition and the education of future energy professionals. We believe that connecting education, research and development, and industry expertise in the field of renewable energy utilization can accelerate innovation and, in the long term, strengthen Hungary\u2019s competitiveness, energy independence, and security of supply. We are proud to contribute to this joint effort with our experience and developments,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Antal Ritter, CEO of Green Energy Investhor Plc.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Created: 2025.12.16. 12:31 Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Green Energy Investhor Plc, a key player in Hungary\u2019s green transition and renewable energy sector.
