An associate professor from the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management of the University of Debrecen (UD MÉK) has become the first Hungarian researcher to visit Bouvet Island, which is part of the Norwegian Antarctic Territory. As a member of an international scientific expedition, László Radócz spent two weeks on the glacier-covered island that has seen less than 200 visitors so far, fewer than outer space has.

An academic career model designed and built from high school onward, state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and direct connections to the international elite are combined to make up the objective of an agreement signed by the University of Debrecen and the city of Debrecen with Hungary’s National Academy of Scientist Education. Nobel Prize-winning American cell biologist Randy Schekman also attended the signing ceremony and gave an inspiring talk to Debrecen’s future researchers at our Learning Center.
Groups of researchers, teachers and artists, who work in the fields of music education, musicology and musical performance, discussed their experiences and professional achievements in order to be able to define the tasks for music education in the coming years at the sixth international conference titled “Music and Society.” The conference participants also had a chance to learn about the latest research findings in this specific field.
After spending almost two hundred and three days in space and orbiting the Earth more than thirty-two hundred times, samples from Hungary’s first space plant experiment, called VITAPRIC program, have returned from the International Space Station (ISS) to Debrecen. The researchers of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management at the University of Debrecen received the experimental materials for their current scientific project from astronaut Tibor Kapu on Monday at UD’s Biodrome, home to the space plant experiment program named HUNOR and the “birthplace” of our university’s space peppers. For the experts in Debrecen, this marked the beginning of a new phase in their research activities.
