The Stefan Lengyel Excellence Scholarship was established by the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in 2020. In addition to delivering a material reward to outstanding talents, the scholarship awarded now for the third time also places major focus on advancing the competences and practical experience of students and on their professional integration. 

Qualifiers are voted into the first round by students and instructors, and following a pre-screening, the winners are selected by a jury of university leaders, instructors and external specialists. This year too, scholarships were allocated in proportion to the number of students at each institute, with 5 students from the Design Institute, 3 from the Institute for Theoretical Studies, 2 from the Architecture Institute, and 6 from the Media Institute receiving the Stefan Lengyel Excellence Scholarship. 

At the reveal of the winners ceremony, speeches were delivered by the eponym of the programme professor emeritus Stefan Lengyel, President of the Foundation for Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Gergely Böszörményi-Nagy, and Rector József Fülöp. 

In autumn 2022, there will be an extensive exhibition featuring the works of the winners of all three semesters. The entries explore a wide variety of subjects and address issues of the present and the future, in particular ecological sustainability and social problems.

The University of the Future initiative is a key focus this year, aimed at MOME’s comprehensive revitalisation. Thanks to persistent efforts over recent months, working groups have developed a detailed implementation plan for the University of the Future programme, a.k.a. the “Three Schools model”, which was unanimously accepted in December 2023. The process has now reached a new milestone: on 18 July, the Senate has pledged its support for the plan, paving the way for continued collaborative work to implement the new structure by next winter and to transform MOME into one of Europe's leading design higher education institutions.

Our University has been invited to exhibit at one of the world's most prestigious digital art festivals, the Ars Electronica 2024. Each year, the Campus series of the long-standing festival presents an art university. This year's exhibition is organised in collaboration with the University of Linz, and will feature outstanding student diploma works from recent years in Linz's main square selected by curators Judit Eszter Kárpáti, Esteban de la Torre, and Ágoston Nagy.

A new symbol has been added to the range of memorabilia that members of the MOME community can receive as they reach various milestones in their university careers. This new emblem, which reinforces a sense of belonging, is a turned and machined bronze item with a polished surface based on the letter ‘O’ in MOME’s logo. Designed by MOME MA teacher Krisztián Ádám at the initiative of Rector József Fülöp, this symbol will be awarded to all graduates at all levels along with the diplomas starting in 2024.
