Minister of Culture and Innovation János Csák paid a visit to the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, commending the work done here.

 “The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design – MOME – is a special place where education, research and innovation are all present at the same time. During my visit to the university, I have had very positive experiences. A truly human-oriented, value-based art and design ecosystem has been created here that is unique not just in Hungary, but in the entire East-Central European region”, he said.

The university’s mission is centred around the world-class teaching, research and development of arts, design and creativity. The university trains mindful specialists, who, through the expert use of design, technology, and contemporary art strategies, can take a role as innovators and improvers of various life situations and social systems in the 21st century. The majority of MOME alumni play a key role in their respective fields, and the university acts as a hub for representatives of the creative industry also on an international scale.

A stunning video illustrating the evolution of starspots over time on the surface of red giant XX Trianguli (XX Tri) has been produced by data scientists Ádám Radványi and Viktor Varga of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME). Based on 16 years of observations, researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and the Astronomy Institute of the HUN-REN Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences reconstructed the changes in the cooler regions of the star’s surface, known as starspots. The MOME team translated these findings into an engaging data visualisation animation, making this complex phenomenon accessible to a broader audience.

Milyen terápiás hatása lehet egy szép virtuális természeti sétának vagy a kertészkedésnek az immerzív térben? Többek közt ezekre a kérdésekre keresi a választ a MOME FutureCare Labban a Bakk Ágnes Karolina PhD vezetésével zajló Zenctuary VR+ projekt, amely kiemelkedő, közel 1 millió eurós támogatást nyert a Nemzeti Kutatási, Fejlesztési és Innovációs Hivatal HU-rizont pályázatán. Az egészségügyi intézmények számára fejlesztett virtuális természeti környezet, amely a tervek szerint rehabilitációs és diagnosztikai célokat is szolgál, javítani tudja majd a betegek ellátását, az idősek életminőségét, elősegíti a regenerálódást, és csökkenti az egészségügyi dolgozók terhelését.
