Budapest

Often described as "Little Paris of Middle Europe", Budapest is famous not only for the monuments reflecting its own 1,000-year-old culture, but also for the relics of others who settled here. Remains from both Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks can still be seen in the city. After the Ottoman Empire the union with Austria has a particular influence on the city's form and style.
The capital has two sides, Buda and Pest, stretching along the banks of the Danube, representing two different characters of the city.
Suburban Buda and its historic castle district offer medieval streets and houses, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The dynamic Pest side boasts the one of largest parliament building in Europe, riverside promenades, flea markets, bookstores, antique stores and café houses.
Budapest has a lot to offer. Museums and galleries, churches and synagogues, palaces and historic buildings, baths and pools are presented together with the influence of Secession in the city. There is an unmistakable feeling that something out of the ordinary is just around the corner, but what it will be is up to you to find out...

Pázmány Péter Catholic University

Until 1948 Pázmány Péter Catholic University had been the citadel of Hungarian academic education, at which point it was split into three institutions. After more than 40 years, due to the change in the political system in Hungary, this university having only one faculty has been developed into Pázmány Péter Catholic University, by establishing the Faculty of Humanities and later, the Faculty of Law. The Faculty of Information Technology was founded on July 1, 1988 and is located in Budapest. it has been renamed to Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics on May 1, 2013.

The Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics aims at the education of anthropocentric information technology based on a broad spectrum of fundamental subjects incorporating also the basics of biology, and on the constantly renewing state-of-the-art technologies. The Faculty offers an approach to information technology and bioinformatics that on one hand puts the human in center, and on the other hand is motivated by nature.

University of Pannonia

There were two significant milestones in the history of the Faculty namely, the foundation of two main courses: electrical engineering (1988) and information technology (1991). The Faculty of Information Technology was founded on the 1st of January 2003, as the successor to the independent Institute of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering founded in 2001 to teach, research and develop informatics and related modern technologies. The evolution of the Faculty has been dynamic and its activities have been recognised at national and international levels.

Regarding the work of the Faculty emphasis is put on both of the terms: informatics and technology. Its activities are connected to fast improving and leading technologies which ensure the creation of products with high added value that can be realised in the globalised world.

Introduction

MAVE – EESTEC LC BUDAPEST is an NGO founded by university students in 1986. The organization was formed with the aim to support professional development of students attending higher education and help them acquire knowledge that broadens their horizons. As an NGO we have been at work for decades to help the development of connections among students, universities and companies. Our main goal is to help future engineers to do their best both professionally and as human beings as well.

A few examples of the local committee’s activity:

Challenge24 - International 24-hour Programming Contest
BeeSmarter - 24-hour Smartphone Programming Team Contest
'TANDEM' - Technology AND DEsign in Motion - International workshop
'CIS' - Computer Integrated Surgery - International workshop
Morgan Stanley - Seminar series
SAP - „Introduction into the mysteries of SAP development” - seminar series
Oracle - seminar series

MAVE is a founding member of the NGO EESTEC (Electrical Engineering Students’ European assoCiation), which currently consists of 43 local committees across Europe with a membership of 3000 students. Thanks to this we can not only reach Hungarian students, but also numerous talented individuals from other nations in Europe and we already have experience in organizing large-scale international events like the EESTEC Conference such as:

Android Competition
Distance Learning
EESTEC Summer School
Lykeion
Open Day

Throughout our history we have collaborated with several Hungarian universities (BUTE, ELTE, MOME, UO, PPCU, SOTE) and our events are periodically supported by various local and international companies (Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, SAP, Hungarian Telekom, Fornax, NNG, Siemens, Skype, EPAM, Ericsson, Morgan Stanley, etc.)
