When a Hungarian astronaut was sent to the International Space Station as part of the HUNOR Program, not only did the dream of space travel become a reality, but new opportunities for scientific discovery opened up as well. The research team that includes Dr. Gabriella Eördegh conducted a unique experiment in space to explore whether the process of learning changes in a microgravity environment. We spoke with the associate professor of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies at the University of Szeged about the details of the research, the Acquired Equivalence Learning Test, and the potential applications of this space experiment here on Earth.

A gap-filling symposium titled “Research Ethics Challenges in Students’ Scientific Work” was held on October 3 at the Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies (ETSZK) of the University of Szeged (SZTE). How can one be both scientific and ethical at the same time? The lectures and the subsequent discussions helped participants navigate the complex world of research ethics.

On the last Sunday of September, the Agora in Szeged was once again filled with life thanks to the World Heart Day event – visitors could participate in screenings, exercise programs, and health counseling.
