Between May 7-8. a delegation from Semmelweis University visited the EUniWell Alliance’s newes member, the Medical University of Warsaw (MUW) to explore new opportunities for collaboration in education, research, and international mobility.
During the visit, Semmelweis University was represented by Dr. Alán Alpár, Vice Rector for International Education, Dr. Szabó Bence Tamás, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, Dr. Tamás Hegedüs, Director of the Directorate of International Relations and Alumni Affairs; Dr. Miklós Kellermayer, Head of the Department of Biophysics and Radiation Biology; Levente Vágó, Deputy Director of the Directorate of International Relations and Alumni Affairs and Fanni Matyasovszki, EUniWell Institutional Coordinator.
The Semmelweis delegation was welcomed by representatives of the MUW university leadership and academic community, including Prof. Dorota Olczak-Kowalczyk, Vice Rector for Personnel and Organizational Affairs; Prof. Agnieszka Mielczarek, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry; Dr. Olga Rostkowska, Chair of the EUniWell Steering Committee and EUniWell Institutional Coordinator; and representatives of the International Relations Office and local EUniWell student community.
During the visit, discussions focused on expanding the already existing exchange partnership between the two universities, with exciting ideas emerging around joint Winter and Summer Schools, future research collaborations, and broader academic cooperation opportunities – particularly in the field of dentistry and regenerative medicine.
The meetings also highlighted the growing cooperation between the two institutions within the EUniWell alliance. Through the ongoing 10th Seed Funding Call, students and staff members from both universities have already started developing new project ideas together, further strengthening the academic ties between Warsaw and Budapest.
A future visit of the Warsaw partner delegation to Semmelweis University in autumn 2026 is also being considered as the next milestone in this developing partnership.
Semmelweis University’s involvement in the EUniWell program is supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund (NKFIH).
