Greetings by the President of the Foundation on the occasion of Gábor Kopek's 70th birthday

Date: 2025.01.27

Dear MOME Citizens, It’s my great pleasure to extend my heartfelt congratulations, on behalf of our entire university, to Gábor Kopek on his 70th birthday. Gábor is not only a former Rector of MOME but also a valued member of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design.

We all know and appreciate his remarkable body of work and the significant contributions he has made to our university. While not all of our current students may have had the chance to meet him or engage in conversation with him, his personal initiative to name the institution after László Moholy-Nagy ensures his vision continues to inspire the entire community. For those of us lucky enough to have worked alongside him, we have countless stories of the lessons we’ve learned from him, which we like to share whenever the occasion arises.

Gábor’s approach to leadership is a living legacy here in Zugliget. The reforms and innovations that the MOME community is collectively pursuing today – including, most notably, the drive to foster collaboration across disciplines – are a natural continuation of the path he set us on. As a member of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, he remains an active and invaluable contributor, offering advice and recommendations to guide us forward. It’s only fitting, as the goal remains the same: to build and maintain a Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design that strives for world-class excellence every day and engages in meaningful dialogue with the world’s leading creative institutions in the fields of art and design.

Dear Gábor,
Warmest congratulations and wishing you all the best on your 70th birthday!

27 January 2025

Gergely Böszörményi-Nagy
President of the Foundation

Gradual Exposure – MOME at the Ars Electronica Campus Exhibition

Idén is bemutatkoztak a MOME hallgatói az Ars Electronica nemzetközi Campus Exhibition keretében. A Gradual Exposure című válogatás vezérfonalát a dezinformáció, a digitális bizalom válsága, a klímaváltozás és a geopolitikai feszültségek témái adták, amelyekhez a hallgatók kísérletező, kutatásalapú és transzdiszciplináris megközelítésekkel kapcsolódtak. A munkák kész válaszok helyett inkább alternatív perspektívákat, új gondolkodási horizontokat kínáltak tükrözve az intézmény erős interdiszciplináris szellemiségét.
