Additional programmes by HYA members during MTA’s Science Festival

In addition to HYA’s large-scale Science Festival event in Budapest, HYA members will also be contributing to the traditional month dedicated to science popularisation at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences with individual events at venues across the country.

This November we are offering the following programmes to the general public:

Will AI become a colleague? – The possibilities and limitations of human–AI collaboration

A public lecture by Tamás Ruppert

Date and venue: 18 November 2026, VEAB Palace, Veszprém

This talk explores how artificial intelligence can evolve from a simple tool into a partner that collaborates with humans. The focus will be on the division of tasks and decision-making between humans and AI, adaptability, and the role of trust, transparency and human control. Tamás Ruppert will use examples from industry and research to demonstrate how human–AI collaboration can create genuine value.


Satellite Girl – Erzsébet Illés, an astronaut after whom an asteroid was named

Book show and book signing organised by Veronika Barta

Date and venue: 23 November 2026, 5:00 p.m., HUN-REN FI, Sopron, Csatkai u. 6‒8.

An inspiring life story about how a little girl who was fascinated by the stars became an internationally recognised space researcher, and how the world of science can open up to curious and determined young people. A motivational book – not only for girls.
