The Faculty of Science of Eötvös Loránd University was founded in 1949 and it is located in Lágymányos Campus, Újbuda, Budapest, Hungary.[1]

History

The Faculty of Science was established on 16 May 1949. In order to develop and improve the teaching of natural sciences, a separate faculty, the Faculty of Science was created from 22 departments and one institute. Before 1949, the Faculty of Humanities, Sciences, Law and Political Science and Medicine constituted one big faculty.[2] The new faculty consisted of 5 institutes: the Institute of Biology, the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Geography, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Institute of Mathematics.[3]

In 2005, József Gál along with Victor Benno Meyer-Rochow of the Jacobs University Bremen was awarded with the ig Nobel Prize.[4]

In 2010, a former student, Judit Nagy, died in a traffic accident at the age of 47. Nagy was a leading scientist in biochemistry at Imperial College London.[5]

In 2012, Endre Szemerédi was awarded with an Abel prize.[6]

In 2021, László Lovász, along with Avi Wigderson of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, was awarded with an Abel prize.[7][8]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the dean, Imre Kacskovics, was often interviewed and worked as a consultant for the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán.[9][10][11]

On 17 December 2021, the Faculty's former student, Árpád Pusztai, died. He made a career at The Rowett Institute in Aberdeen Scotland. He was known for his research in biochemistry and the Pusztai affair.[12]

The European Commission appointed three new members to the governing body of the leading European scientific organisation, including László Lovász, professor of mathematics at Faculty and former President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences on 1 March 2022.[13]

During the Russo-Ukrainian War, free courses were offered for Ukrainian students.[14]

In April 2022, new quantum processors were purchased by Eötvös Loránd University.[15]

According to the AD scientific index, among the top 10 most influential scientists at the Eötvös Loránd University are from the Faculty of Science.[16]

On 1 July 2022, Katalin Karikó, Hungarian-American biochemist who specializes in RNA-mediated mechanisms, was awarded with an honorary doctorate by the university.[17]

In 2023, a former Bachelor of Science graduate, Ferenc Krausz, was awarded Nobel Prize in Physics.[18][19]

Research

In 2015, András Kovács, researcher at the Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, was interviewed by the Guardian on his group's discovery. His research team found a supervoid. In other words, the largest structure discovered in the universe.[21]

A research group, led by Attila Andics, was featured in Forbes.[22][unreliable source?] The title of the article was "Science Reveals How Your Pet Really Feels About Your Affection". In 2018, another research group, led by Gábor Horváth, successfully modelled the Kordylewski clouds.[23][24]

Zsolt Demetrovics's study was featured on the Guardian entitled "Cyberchondria and cyberhoarding: is internet fuelling new conditions?"[25]

A study conducted by a research group of the Faculty of Science was featured in the BBC, entitled "Separation from your phone 'makes you stressed within minutes."[26]

In an article entitled "Cows Can Be Toilet Trained", Paula Perez Fraga was interviewed on dog and pig behaviour.[27]

In 2020, Gergely Balázs's study on salamanders was featured in USA Today.[28] He found that a rare olm salamander didn't move for more than seven years. The results of his study was published in the Journal of Zoology in 2020.[29] A study, led by Ádám Miklósi, was featured on USAToday.com, entitled "Why is your dog tilting its head? New study dives into the adorable habit".[30] The findings of their study was published in Animal Cognition, entitled 'An exploratory analysis of head-tilting in dogs'.[31] In 2022, a study conducted by Laura Cuaya, from the Department of Ethology of the Institute of Biology, was featured in the BBC.[32] Another study, led by Attila Andics, was also featured in the BBC entitled 'Dogs can recognise their owners by their voice alone'.[33][34]
