Celebrating Excellence at MATE!

On 18 November, the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE) proudly presented its Teaching and Impact Awards for the second time at the Szent István Campus in Gödöllő. The event brought together educators, researchers, and university leaders to celebrate achievements that exemplify innovation, dedication, and meaningful societal contribution.

Established in 2024 as part of the MATE 2030 Strategy, these awards recognise outstanding educators and high-impact initiatives that go beyond academic excellence. They highlight work that contributes to societal well-being, responds to real-world challenges, and advances the vision of a knowledge-based, inclusive, and responsible society. Strengthening teaching quality, educational effectiveness, and impactful engagement remains a cornerstone of the university’s long-term development and international competitiveness.

Heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Katalin Szabó on receiving the third-generation Agóra Impact Award! This prestigious recognition reflects not only professional excellence, but also a deep commitment to creating positive and lasting impact within and beyond the university community. We wish her continued success and inspiration in her future work.

We are especially proud that MATE acknowledges the importance of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP) and recognises the dedicated, collaborative efforts behind it. This recognition reinforces the university’s commitment to gender equalityvalues that are essential for excellence in education, research, and innovation.

Congratulations to all awardees and contributors who help shape MATE’s future and strengthen its role as a socially responsible, forward-looking university.
