Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design

MOME TDK

Scientific and Artistic Student Associations Conference
The SCIENTIFIC AND ARTISTIC STUDENT ASSOCIATIONS CONFERENCE is an excellent opportunity for students to perform an in-dept exploration of a topic of their choice, turn it into a work of art, design, or study, and present it to a jury and the general public in the first, institutional round of the competition.

Qualifiers can go on to represent MOME at the biennial National Scientific Student Associations Conference, which will take place in 2027 for the 38th time.

 

Successful participation will earn students major prestige. A design/research already completed for the competition can also prove helpful for the diploma project or thesis later.

What does it include?

Art

Entries in the art section can include works of design, applied arts, architecture, visual arts (film, photo, video, animation, multimedia, etc.) and conventional fine art.

Art theory

In the art theory section, students are required to submit a paper (at least 40 thousand characters long) presenting the findings of a research project in the field of art philosophy, aesthetics, art history, art critique, social theory (art sociology, cultural anthropology, ethnography, cultural history, cultural and art management, etc.), art communication, art psychology, art pedagogy, or technical methodology.

Students can have a free choice of consultants from the teachers of the university to help with completing the entries.
