• In this episode of the ELTE Walk, we learn about the Faculty of Science, ELTE from the Vice-Dean for Educational Affairs and a current international MSc student. The master's programs and Doctoral Schools open for international students at the Faculty cover all areas of natural sciences. Besides teaching, the Faculty is strong in research on various fields of natural sciences, too.

• A team of researchers from Department of Physics of Complex Systems at Eötvös Loránd University, Harvard Medical School, the Danish Cancer Institute, and Semmelweis University has developed an innovative approach to predict how patients with High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) respond to chemotherapy. Their findings, to be published in NPJ Precision Oncology, a journal of the Nature group, with Oz Kilim, an ELTE PhD student, as the lead author, demonstrate that combining two key sources of information— images of tissue samples (histopathology) and detailed protein measurements (proteomics)— leads to improved accuracy in identifying which patients are likely to benefit from platinum-based chemotherapy, a common first-line treatment for ovarian cancer.

• Astrophysicists from ELTE also took part in the 15-year international research work in which, by observing the periodically flashing pulses of massive stars, they noticed that gravitational waves stretch and compress space and time following a characteristic pattern. During the research, they monitored the Universe with giant radio telescopes, so that light can be shed on the operation of huge black holes colliding in the middle of distant galaxies, and they can even discover several sources of low-frequency gravitational waves.

• Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) welcomes a growing number of international students who can select from a wide range of full and joint degree programs offered in English. Incoming Erasmus exchange students form a large international community at the university. This short film shows how exchange students experience life at ELTE and in Budapest. Meet our international students and find out why they decided to study at ELTE and in Hungary.

• The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize for 2021 to László Lovász of Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary and Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics (ELKH, MTA Institute of Excellence), and Avi Wigderson of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA. This prize is often referred to as the Nobel Prize for mathematicians. They received the prize for their foundational contributions to theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics, and their leading role in shaping them into central fields of modern mathematics.

• Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) is the oldest and largest university in Hungary and it is the most popular higher education institution among applicants each year. As the leading research university in Hungary, the name of ELTE means knowledge, opportunities, competition, openness and community. Meet ELTE students and take a tour with us at ELTE in the centre of Budapest. Discover new opportunities and challenge your talent. Join the community of Eötvös Loránd University.

• Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) offers more than 60 degree programs in foreign languages in the fields of Education and Psychology, Humanities, Informatics, Law, Social Sciences and Science. Currently, about 2400 international students study at ELTE and the community of international students is growing from year to year. Check out what our international students think and discover the wide-range of opportunities waiting for you at ELTE. Join the growing international community of ELTE.
