The 2026 final of the Economics Olympiad was held on 26 March at Corvinus University of Budapest. The competition was won by Domán Nacsa, a student of Ferenc Erkel Secondary School in Gyula.

Corvinus alumna Petra Hajdu-Pásztor now leads her own startup in the international cruise industry. Her story demonstrates that with the right background and determination, a well-identified market problem can be turned into a successful business. Recently, an international education platform interviewed Petra, where she also spoke about the challenges of building a startup.

At the Annual Alumni Reunion on June 11, Corvinus University will once again recognize its outstanding alumni, following last year’s tradition. With the Alumni of the Year Award, the university honors former students who, alongside achieving excellence in their professional careers and/or making a significant social impact, have also given back to their alma mater community.
