During the extraordinary Senate session on 3 March, Ybl and Prima Primissima Award-winning architect and university professor Csaba Kovács was elected with 70% of the vote to serve as acting rector of the university. Following the vote, a confidence vote saw more than 90% of the Senate supporting his nomination, and his candidacy has now been submitted to the Board of Trustees for approval. The Board of Trustees will discuss this nomination at its next meeting.

Important discussions have taken place in recent days, aimed at seeking consensus, fostering consolidation, and building and strengthening trust between the various parties. “Following the resolutions made at the extraordinary Senate meetings in February, the Senate has started negotiations with both the MOME Front and the Board of Trustees of the Foundation maintaining the university. Both discussions are productive and focused on building mutual understanding”, said CEO of MOME and acting president of the MOME Senate Réka Matheidesz.

The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) has achieved exceptional success in the first cycle of the FISU Healthy Campus programme, receiving platinum certification from the International University Sports Federation (FISU). The programme aims to help universities coordinate their efforts in promoting healthy lifestyles, mental well-being, sustainability, and a community-driven mindset shift. MOME is fully committed to the programme, with a comprehensive action plan in place across all key areas to ensure long-term, sustainable progress.

The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) is dedicated to upholding the ethical values that define its community, which include recognising and embracing the diversity of its members. The university places great importance on acknowledging human differences, fostering tolerance in matters of religion and belief, and safeguarding the reputation, dignity, and honour of both the institution and its citizens. Furthermore, it is committed to respecting their personal rights and always acting under the assumption that others' behaviour is similarly guided by ethical responsibility.

In a remarkable achievement, Wish You Were Ear, an animated diploma film from MOME’s Animation department, has won the prestigious Crystal Bear for Best Short Film at this year’s Berlinale. Sponsored by the National Film Institute (NFI), the film was lauded by the Berlinale Generation 14+ jury for its poignant reminder of how communication, mutual respect, and understanding are essential to human existence, no matter how varied our individual experiences may be. The award was presented on Friday evening at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival to Balogh, a MOME graduate from the class of 2024.

Once again, the works of this year's Stefan Lengyel scholarship recipients demonstrate a strong focus on social sensitivity and unlocking the potential in the intersection of technology and art. The winning projects include an elderly care application, various educational games, innovative architectural concepts, and a project that uses drones as musical instruments. This marks the eighth edition of the Stefan Lengyel Scholarship of Excellence, awarded by the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, to recognise the most exceptional students for their work.
