MOME rewards its outstanding students: the 5th Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence award ceremony

Date: 2023.07.17

Adaptive reuse, transhumanism, and the endangered status of bees are some of the subjects explored by the winning projects of the latest Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence. The winners of the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence for the the spring semester of the 2022/23 academic year were announced on 29 June at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design.

The 16 award winning students can proceed to perfect their concept using the support provided by the scholarship for 5 months, and the winner projects will be displayed in a public exhibition in the autumn on MOME Campus.

The winning entries include outstanding projects from the fields of social issues, sustainability, cultural heritage, mobility, and digitalisation, such as a research project exploring the social impact of portable music players locally and globally, an educational and art photography project focusing on the vital role of bees and apiaries, an emergency organ transport vehicle concept, a complex festival visual identity, a mould-breaking jewellery, and a unique architectural project infusing an abandoned site and building complex with new life and functions and repurposing the spaces in the spirit of inclusivity to accommodate the needs of the local community.

In addition to offering a means to further develop student projects, it also provides an opportunity for advancing the industry competences and practical experience of the participants. In the first round, students are nominated by their fellow students, while in the second, the 16 winning entries are selected by a jury of university leaders, teachers and professionals.

The awards were presented by President of the Foundation Gergely Böszörményi-Nagy and Rector József Fülöp in an awards ceremony.

Szintet lépnek a MOME fiatal alkotói: itt a LEVEL UP! Demo Day

Mihez kezdhetünk a feleslegessé vált, de még használható bútorokkal? Lehet-e közösségi élmény a főzés szakácskönyv nélkül? Miként válhat láthatóvá és értékessé a pályakezdő divattervezők munkája? Többek között ezekre a kérdésekre keresnek gyakorlati válaszokat a MOME Inkubáció mentoráltjai, akik április 2-án a LEVEL UP! eseményen a projektjeik mellett azt is bemutatják, hogy miként jutottak el az ötlettől a megvalósításig, a szikrától a következő mérföldkőig. A Dugattyúsban megrendezett Demo Dayen a tizenöt fiatal tervező, alkotó és elméleti szakember előadását beszélgetések, közönségszavazás, majd közös ünneplés kíséri.

Remembering Ádám Nádasdy, recipient of the Moholy-Nagy Award

As a poet, university professor, linguist, literary translator and publicist, Ádám Nádasdy was described as a sensitive seismograph and a shaping presence in Hungary’s intellectual and social life, when receiving the Moholy-Nagy Award, one of our university’s most important accolades. An inspiring thinker and speaker, an outstanding poet and a translator of lasting significance, he died at the age of 79. Alongside his works, one of his most enduring legacies lies in showing that teaching may be practiced with humour and elegance, and that life and science are not separate, but part of the same world.
