For three years, the Széll Kálmán College of Data Science at Széchenyi István University has been building a scientific forum that offers students an inspiring and valuable network of contacts, in-depth knowledge, and unlimited opportunities. Members of this talent-nurturing community have achieved significant results over the past year: they have earned excellent rankings at the Scientific Student Conference (TDK) and have published their research findings.
The Széll Kálmán College of Economics and Data Science at Széchenyi István University is unique in that it is English-language, which not only develops language skills but also provides members with an international perspective.
“This makes it easier for students to get involved in international research projects, participate confidently in international conferences, and publish in prestigious international scientific journals. This is a huge advantage in their future professional and academic careers,” said Dr. László Buics, program director of the college.
He added that the international community, which is growing year by year, offers Hungarian and foreign students the opportunity to work together on various research projects, share their experiences, and jointly find innovative solutions to the challenges of the economy and data science. The diverse environment not only enriches scientific work, but also encourages members to be culturally open, cooperative, and broad-minded. He emphasized that the college also supports personal development with lectures on research methodology, skills development training, foreign language courses, and mentoring programs.
The members have achieved significant results in the past year: 77 institutional and national TDK appearances, 31 Hungarian and 46 English-language theses, and 41 awards – 12 first, 15 second, four third places, and 13 special awards – mark their activities. In addition, they gave 24 conference presentations, published eight conference papers, including two Scopus-indexed papers, and authored four Category A, ten Q3, five Q2, and two Q1 scientific articles.
The motto of the college is: Smart Network, Deep Knowledge, Infinite Opportunities. This means that we welcome anyone who wants to gain deeper knowledge, discover new opportunities, and build valuable relationships. We offer both undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to participate in exciting research, attend international conferences, and contribute to their own and their community’s success through scientific publications,” summarized Dr. László Buics.
