The Rector’s proposals to enhance dialogue for MOME’s future
Date: 2025.02.03
Today, the Rector of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Pál Koós has presented a series of proposals aimed at resolving some outstanding issues related to MOME’s ongoing revitalisation process.
- The first proposal suggests that, contrary to previous regulations and considering the criticisms of the current practice, decisions regarding the leadership of the newly established knowledge centres will no longer be made by the Rector, but by the community of each knowledge centre.
- The second proposal introduces a new online platform where members of the MOME community can share their suggestions for improving and facilitating the transformation process. Proposals that receive the community’s approval will be implemented from the spring of 2025 onwards.
- The third proposal offers MOME students a variety of opportunities to actively engage in the transformation process, ranging from improving student services and internal operations to developing new experimental courses.
These proposals are designed to strengthen the trust and participation of the university community, foster MOME’s continued growth and further the ongoing revitalisation efforts.
To ensure the swift implementation of these initiatives, the Rector has begun consultations with members of the Senate and representatives from the university’s professional hubs.

Water still feels like a given in our everyday lives – but for how much longer? This pressing issue was tackled by secondary school students in the 2025 edition of the ‘Jump into the Future!’ creative competition. Working in teams, pupils from Years 7 to 10 developed bold, imaginative ideas for the future of one of life’s most essential resources. In the second round, selected teams refined their concepts in close collaboration with MOME mentors. At the final on 25 June, ten teams presented their forward-thinking visions, with four of them awarded by a jury of MOME faculty. First place went to Ísbíltúr, second to Bacsaók, third to Code Noir, while Newwave received a special prize. All four stood out not only for their creativity, but also for their systems-level approach, serving as a powerful reminder that water scarcity is no distant threat but an issue we must act on now.
How can we make better use of public transport infrastructure? What would a truly fast and effective life-saving device look like? And how can we save agriculture in a world without bees? These are just a few of the questions addressed by our design students, and their imaginative, forward-thinking answers have earned international recognition in the Design Concept category of one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, the Red Dot Award. Seven projects mentored through the MOME Red Dot submission programme stood out from the global competition this year, including diploma projects and semester-long university projects.
