The Student Research Conference (TDK) is a biennial event that fosters talent in Hungarian higher education by engaging students in scientific research and creative projects with mentorship support. Participants can develop professional skills, gain professional feedback and present their work at institutional TDK conferences, or even the prestigious National Student Research Conference (OTDK).
International students are welcomed to participate, since it is also possible to write your paper in English! You can apply by yourself or as part of a group, or you can also just visit the conferences as audience!
