OTDK Turns 70: A Tribute to the Champions of Student Talent Development
The National Scientific Students’ Associations Conference (OTDK) celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. On this special occasion, the organisers presented commemorative badges to distinguished academics and professionals who have played a key role in the development of the TDK movement, in supporting students’ academic work, and in nurturing the next generation of researchers.
Nine members of Corvinus University of Budapest received this recognition:
-
Tamás Bartus, Professor, Vice-Rector, Corvinus University of Budapest
-
Attila Chikán, Academician, Professor Emeritus, Corvinus University of Budapest, Rajk College for Advanced Studies

The awardees include professors, lecturers and researchers who have for decades actively supported students’ scientific work. As section chairs, reviewers or supervisors, they have contributed to the success of the conferences, helping the TDK become one of the most important platforms for nurturing future talent in Hungarian academia.
Over the past seventy years, the OTDK has grown into one of the key forums of talent development in Hungarian higher education, where Corvinus students and faculty members have always played an active role. The commemorative badges presented this year pay tribute to their long-standing commitment and professional dedication.
