At the Erasmus MeetUp event organized by the Department of International Relations, the Student Union of the University, the Department of International Services and the Erasmus ESN, held in the Ceremonial Hall in Building K on 8 May 2024, Erasmus students here in Hungary and those who are planning mobility had the opportunity to meet and exchange experience and information.

In the first part of the programme, BME students returned home from mobility talked about their experiences. First, Réka Ágota Czibók (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics) shared her practical tips about the Instituto Politecnico de Braganca in Portugal, followed by Máté Fent (Faculty of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology) who shared his experiences at the Swedish Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan. The event ended with a presentation by Léna Szarvas (Faculty of Architecture) on the Spanish Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (ETSAV) and by Hanna Mária Csiszár (Faculty of Architecture) on her stay at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey.

132 people registered for the event, on the basis of which separate tables were set up for the most popular countries, where the participants could also have a targeted discussion. A special information desk was set up by the International Services Department, where the outgoing students could get answers to all their administrative and relevant questions.

In the second part of the event, the students went to the 8 tables set up for each country, where they could meet those who are preparing for mobility to the country represented by the table and those who have already been there. 

They talked about how to find accommodation, how much the scholarship would cover, whether it would cover the costs of living abroad, and how many people speak English in the country. Many participants also visited the information desk, where they were given information about the application process.
