The Committee for Equal Opportunities in Science of the Hungarian Young Academy is organising a webinar on the topic of mental wellbeing on 25 November 2026, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., entitled ‘The talented second sex – Female researchers in the past and today: What can we do together to support the mental health of female researchers?”

At this year’s Science Festival, the Hungarian Young Academy will welcome participants on Thursday 12 November with two events in the morning and in the afternoon, followed by an evening public lecture with a HYA alumnus taking centre stage.

This year’s Hungarian Science Festival is called “Science Jubilee” (JTÜ) to mark the bicentenary of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA). In addition to the full-day JTÜ event organised by the Hungarian Young Academy, which will take place on 12 November at the Palace of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, HYA members will also be welcoming those interested to exciting lectures in Veszprém and Sopron.

Young researchers are looking forward to welcoming visitors on 25 and 26 September 2026 with more exciting programmes and in more venues than ever before.

To mark the 200th anniversary of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA), HYA members have taken on a special challenge: the completion of a 200-kilometre commemorative relay run. Come and root for the runners in the Pál-völgy Cave parking lot on 13-14 June!

In 2026 the Hungarian Young Academy continues its series of popular science events in connection with the Fascination of Plants Day.

The Hungarian Young Academy considers it a priority to talk about the challenges experienced during research careers, including the role of stress in our lives. This time our guest speaker will be Gábor Fazekas, who will introduce participants to the method of mindfulness, i.e. how to reduce stress through conscious presence.

On Thursday 22 January 2026 at 2:00 p.m., HYA will have the honour to host a talk by Bianka Brezóczki, a doctoral student living with a physical disability from the Department of Clinical Psychology and Addictology at ELTE.

After last year’s roaring success, the Hungarian Young Academy is inviting all to out-of-the-ordinary advent preparations on 17 December at Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

The next occasion to meet Katalin Karikó in person will be at a special event held on 5 November at the Hungarian Embassy in Berlin with HYA participation.
