Students’ Scientific Association (TDK)
The primary goal of the Students’ Scientific Association is to provide an opportunity for every student to get involved in research and to gain experience at Hungarian and international conferences. The Students’ Scientific Association is a platform for self-instruction and scholar training: talented students are aided by outstanding teachers and researchers to get an insight into scientific life during their studies. The program enables students to build personal and professional relationships that prepare them for their scientific career. Currently, there are around 1,200 students involved in the program of the Students’ Scientific Association. Nearly all of the university’s departments and clinics take part in the talent support program.
