Mini animation spots capturing the momentum and vibe of Budapest were designed by MOME Anim students to promote the MyBudapest application. The animations feature several iconic locations, including Trafo, Toldi Cinema, Gellért Hill, and thermal baths, presented by the students using their own experiences.

The animations were commissioned by the developer of the application, Budapest Brand, and created by the students during a course launched in September 2023, using their own experiences related to institutions in Budapest offering a discount and included in the ÉnBudapestem app. The event guide app provides discounts for cinemas, theatres, baths, restaurants, permanent exhibitions, and concerts in Budapest, and is designed to enable the people of Budapest to rediscover their city and look at it with fresh eyes.

One animation features a dragon flying over the Buda Castle, another kufli-like creatures touring the attractions of the city, while a third fairytale creatures drawing young people out of the room and virtual reality into the open.

At the course, Angelika Galsi, Boglárka Gecse, Hanna Gollob, Eszter Győri, Erna Halmai, Orsolya Imre, Zsófia Jánosi, Kata Lakatos, Fruzsina Schwanberger, Ágnes Snekszer, Simon Szijjártó, Csilla Szőke, Kamilla Takács, and Viktória Tóth each created a 40-50-second spot each.

The MOME Directorate for Grants and Development has closed an outstanding year, securing multimillion-euro funding for a diverse range of research projects, including AR Symposium, Zenctuary VR+, and Waterside Voices. These projects span fields as diverse as urban development, nature conservation, contemporary dance, and the application of cutting-edge VR technology in healthcare. For the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), bringing its projects to life to address the complex challenges of the 21st century is a top priority. As state funding is becoming increasingly scarce, securing and effectively utilising grant opportunities has emerged as a critical strategic focus.

What makes MOME appealing to young people? This question was explored in depth by the MOME delegation at the 8th Konnekt Live Career Orientation Festival that included designer and lecturer Dániel Ruppert, Animation student Enikő Svarcz, Textile Design BA student András Parag, and graphic designer and MOME alumna Dóra Sirály. In a discussion with the audience aged 16 to 20, the team shared insights into their respective fields, explained the admission process, and discussed the career opportunities available to MOME graduates.

On the Boundary Lines, a selection of contemporary jewellery created by current and former students of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design is now on display in six dedicated cases in the Dome Hall of the Hungarian National Museum. These pieces form part of the newly opened Shine! – The Era of Jewellery exhibition, which spans from prehistoric times to the present day. Alongside historical artefacts, the MOME works highlight the diversity and innovation of contemporary jewellery design. The selection features themes central to MOME’s design philosophy, including nature, space, the body, memory, and imagination.
