The Annual Scientific Students' Associations Conference

Annual Scientific Student Associations’ Conference at BME
 
The Annual Scientific Student Associations’ Conference (“Tudományos Diákköri Konferencia” - TDK) is organized at most of the Hungarian universities in every academic year, at BME in each November. With the help of experienced supervisors participating students write a roughly 20-page research paper and make a presentation in sections according to their field of profession. Their essays and presentations are evaluated, and the best ones receive valuable prizes and are nominated for the national competition held every second year. Papers and presentations can be made in Hungarian or in English.
