Professor Peter Möhringer, honorary doctor of the Pollack Mihály Faculty of Engineering, University of Pécs since 11 March 2010.
The Pollack Mihály Faculty of Engineering first contacted the Bavarian higher education institute in 1983, and as a result of this, the first formal cooperation agreement was signed on the 21st of May in 1985 in Würzburg. At that time a formal agreement between two institutions that were separated by the iron curtain was quite unique not only in Hungary but in the whole Federal Republic of Germany too.
Professor Möhringer has always had a prominent role on behalf of the German partner in making this partnership work and advance for more than thirty years. He has been in charge of Hungarian relations at the German institute since the beginning. He has always shown genuine interest in this task and carried it out at a high standard. The fact that he even learned Hungarian proves how deeply he cares about this mission.
He has organised a summer internship for Hungarian students of electrical engineering in Bavaria for years. Thereafter, since the beginning of the SOCRATES/ERASMUS programme, he has organised the study abroad programmes of Hungarian students at every faculty of the German college.
In addition to this, every year he holds presentations in Pécs at the Department of Electrical Engineering as part of the traditional professional days of the Department.
