What makes MOME appealing to young people? This question was explored in depth by the MOME delegation at the 8th Konnekt Live Career Orientation Festival that included designer and lecturer Dániel Ruppert, Animation student Enikő Svarcz, Textile Design BA student András Parag, and graphic designer and MOME alumna Dóra Sirály. In a discussion with the audience aged 16 to 20, the team shared insights into their respective fields, explained the admission process, and discussed the career opportunities available to MOME graduates.

The MOME Directorate for Grants and Development has closed an outstanding year, securing multimillion-euro funding for a diverse range of research projects, including AR Symposium, Zenctuary VR+, and Waterside Voices. These projects span fields as diverse as urban development, nature conservation, contemporary dance, and the application of cutting-edge VR technology in healthcare. For the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), bringing its projects to life to address the complex challenges of the 21st century is a top priority. As state funding is becoming increasingly scarce, securing and effectively utilising grant opportunities has emerged as a critical strategic focus.

Nearly ninety applications were submitted for MOME’s Tomorrow Belongs to You – For the Creative Talents of the Future 2025 scholarship programme. Applicant interviews began on 10 January at the MODEM Centre for Modern and Contemporary Art in Debrecen and continued at the MOME Campus in Budapest, as well as in Békéscsaba at the Szeberényi Gusztáv Adolf Lutheran Grammar School, Technical School, Art Secondary School, and Primary School, and in Miskolc at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC).
