Pen and Needle

Serbian alternative comics artist Aleksandar Zograf has seen his drawings transformed into a different medium: embroidery, meticulously executed by Gordana Basta. In today’s fast-paced world, handmade embroidery can seem almost anachronistic – a “slow” art form that demands patience, dedication, and careful craftsmanship. By contrast, Zograf’s comics belong to the realm of contemporary visual culture: immediate in expression, modern in sensibility, and published internationally.

The encounter between these two seemingly distant worlds gives rise to a unique and vibrant body of work.

Their appeal lies precisely in this ability to transcend conventional boundaries.

Time and date of the event: October 09. 17:00 House of Arts and Literature (Széchenyi tér 7-8.)

We’re preparing a special, diverse evening – just like the Balkans themselves.

The evening will be kicked off by the Pécs-based group SODRASH, who are preparing a specially reworked set for the occasion. They will be followed by SIN SEEKAS from Vojvodina in Serbia, and the evening will be rounded off by the Colombian-Hungarian DJ duo with their FIESTA BALKANIKA party.

We’ll take you on a journey from Hungarian folk song lyrics through the Balkans all the way to Bogotá.

Time and date of the event: October 08, 20:00 PM Szabadkikötő (Pécs, Király u. 64.)

For applications to the Faculty Ambassador Scholarship, the submission deadline has been extended (due to technical reasons) to the 23rd September, 2026.

Alongside the celebration of the start of the academic year, the ceremonial opening of the 2026/2027 academic year also marked the signing of an important professional agreement: the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology of the University of Pécs (UP FEIT) and Leier Hungária Kft. reaffirmed their professional partnership through a cooperation agreement, aimed at further expanding and deepening the relationship between the two organisations.

The partnership seeks to strengthen educational, research, development, and innovation-related cooperation, while creating new joint professional opportunities that contribute to students’ practical experience and professional competencies.

Dear Students!

The call for applications for the UP FEIT Scholarship for Scientific and Art Projects is published.
