World-renowned game designer Adrian Hon held a workshop for MOME Anim students
Date: 2023.10.10
How did a neuroscientist end up in game development? Animation students received an answer to this and many more questions at a workshop held by world-famous designer of the Zombies, Run! video game.
Although Adrien Hon’s name might be familiar to most people in relation to video games, the workshop for MOME Animation students held interest not just to those wanting to work in the same field. In fact, game designer and gamification critic Adrian Hon started out as a neuroscientist, providing him with a highly multidimensional mindset for his current job. He imparted the same approach at the private workshop event at MOME on 20 September, where participating students had the opportunity to practice game development methods in the physical space.

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.
