MOME has won yet another international tender

Date: 2022.03.14

The latest collaboration of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design promotes the international visibility of young artists and creative professionals. The CREATIVE EUROPE EU programme supports emerging artists in mastering new skills and technologies that are essential for succeeding in the international arena.

The European Union’s Creative Europe programme has an unprecedented EUR 300 million budget to support professionals and artists in the cultural and the creative sectors in developing cross-border collaborations that can reach new audiences. MOME’s winning tender is designed to support students of the university by increasing the international visibility of works created by them.

The development of digital skills and capabilities will be an important tool in helping students learn about top technological trends, as well master the use of tools for the broader dissemination and promotion of their works. MOME students will be in direct contact with students of foreign partner universities, creating new works.

This is the second time this year that MOME has succeeded in an international tender. A few weeks ago, the university took an important research and development role in advancing the transition to a biobased economy under Horizon Europe, the EU’s innovation programme.

MOME is changing its operational model

Since August 2020, the 142-year-old Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), has been operating in a foundation framework. As part of the model change, MOME has developed a long-term strategy, reinvented its research and development activity, launched the digitalisation of its internal processes, and proceeded to modernise training. In addition to providing a traditionally high-level art and design education, the university will introduce entrepreneurial training and launch its first English-language MAs from 2022. In 2021, MOME's budget nearly quadrupled, and the foundation also decided to grant the most substantial pay rise to teachers in the history of Hungarian higher education.

Starspot research using MOME's data visualisation published in Nature

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.

Zenctuary VR+ application wins research and development funding

What therapeutic effect could a beautiful virtual walk through nature or immersive gardening have? This is one of the questions explored by the Zenctuary VR+ project, led by Ágnes Karolina Bakk PhD within the FutureCare Lab at MOME, which has secured nearly 1 million euros in funding through the HU-rizont grant programme of the National Research, Development, and Innovation Office. Developed for healthcare facilities, this virtual natural environment aims to serve both rehabilitative and diagnostic purposes, improving patient care and the quality of life for the elderly, promoting recovery, and reducing the workload of healthcare professionals.
