World-renowned game designer Adrian Hon held a workshop for MOME Anim students

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.

For the first time, the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) is taking part in the Budapest100 event series, which in 2025 will raise awareness about the importance of urban green spaces, gardens, and parks. MOME’s 15,000-square-metre, revitalised campus garden not only serves as a venue but also plays an active role in the festival with its eco-conscious developments and community activities. Budapest100 is an architectural and cultural festival that celebrates communities and the city, bringing neighbours closer together. From 22–25 May 2025, we’ll be focusing on urban green spaces, courtyards, gardens, and green corridors, along with the communities who nurture them.
In 2025, the Startup Safari took place for the tenth year running, marking it as the largest community event in Hungary's startup ecosystem. Over the course of two days, it brought together 700 participants, featuring 200 sessions across seven venues. One of the most exciting programme offerings was presented at the Zugligeti campus. On the second day of the conference, MOME not only served as the venue but also hosted professional events that introduced participants to the university's forward-thinking projects and groundbreaking collaborations.
What tools does a designer, architect, or media artist use today? How is MOME preparing to meet the technological and professional needs of future generations, and why is it essential for designers to be proficient with 3D printers and laser cutters? This was explored during a presentation at MOME, where participants had the chance to see the latest developments in studios and workshops. Thanks to these innovations, students can learn not only traditional techniques but also master the use of cutting-edge tools and professional filmmaking equipment.
