The Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS) has a long-standing tradition of student research through its Students’ Scientific Association (TDK), established in the 1950s. Every second year, the University organizes a conference where students deliver oral presentations on their research projects.

Believing strongly in the value of international mobility, HUSS promotes institutional partnerships that create opportunities for academic exchange and collaborative research. The University community takes pride in its extensive network of scientific connections, which also enables international students to conduct research in our laboratories.

HUSS is actively engaged in international conferences and academic publishing, with many faculty members serving as editors or editorial board members of prestigious journals. The University continues to advance its scientific achievements by expanding its research portfolio and maintaining state-of-the-art facilities that support high-quality research at all levels.
