High-ranking university leaders visited our library on 20 March 2026, led by Dr. Gábor Zemplén, Vice Rector for International Affairs, and Dr. Judit Mádlné Szőnyi, Vice Rector for General Affairs.
The international delegation – including representatives from Trinity College Dublin, Cambridge, Edinburgh, the Sorbonne, Zagreb, Barcelona, Belgrade, and Warsaw – gained insight into our library’s state-of-the-art services, its representative reading rooms, the history of the University Library, and its architectural highlights.
In line with the University’s internationalization strategy, the ELTE University Library and Archives places a strong emphasis on fostering multicultural relationships and developing intercultural competencies, thereby contributing to the realization of cross-border projects. As a user-oriented cultural institution, we consider it our mission to go beyond supporting education and research to facilitate the integration of international students, support their mental well-being, meet their community needs, and provide opportunities for them to connect with our culture. During the presentation of our community space – developed as a result of the Book of Your Life cultural inclusion project and serving as a venue for international student programs and exhibitions – our guests were also able to see some practical examples of upcycling as an eco-friendly solution, in the spirit of sustainability.
