Pécs has been preparing for the Jubilee celebrations!
It has become official recently that the Government of Hungary supports the celebration of the 650th anniversary of the foundation of the first Hungarian university with 565 million HUF.
The press conference about the Jubilee celebrations was held in the 13. January, 2016. József Bódis, rector of the University of Pécs told: „we would like to execute such series of event over the next two years, which bow before the university foundation worthily”. In the framework of the Jubilee celebrations the Hungarology World Congress, the Magna Charta Observatory international rectors' conference and rectors' conference of European Catholic universities will be organized in Pécs.
It was also decided that the so called „International Evening” will be expanded: there will be an „International Month”. Gyula Zeller, Vice Rector for Connections and Strategic Affairs of the PTE told: „There are more than 2700 international students from 80 countries studying at the PTE. From here came the idea that we are going to organize the International Month, where a wide palette of different cultures, culinary and artistic worlds can appear”.
