Multi-disciplinary Projects:

• Pollack Expo
  This annual event has been organised since 2007 and is held at the Pécs Expo Centre in February or March,  hosting 150-200 exhibitors, and 5-6000 visitors. The initiative behind the expo was to offer our students practical know-how that would complement their theoretical knowledge, to meet the major economic players and to learn about the latest trends in their field of study. With the cooperation of each department, the exposition has been extended with international conferences, robot programming and computer assembling competitions, courses organised by the Chamber of Trade and job fairs.

• Miklós Iványi International PhD & DLA Symposium
  

  The Miklós Iványi International PhD & DLA Symposium is organized to give PhD & DLA students a special forum to present their ongoing research projects in their specific field. This forum complements the doctoral programme. International PhD Symposia were organized between 2005-2019 and it is important to continue this tradition. In 2014, following the death of Prof. Miklós Iványi, the symposium was renamed the Miklós Iványi International PhD & DLA Symposium, to his honour vision and contribution to the symposium.

• BIM  (Building Information Modelling)
  

  2010 marked the beginning of BIM research at the PhD level at the faculty, and from 2011, education in BIM was introduced to the architectural programmes of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology of the University of Pécs (UP FEIT).
  The Hungarian BIM Association (MABIM) was established in 2014 as a collaboration between the UP FEIT and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and several other industrial partners. Several lecturers from our faculty took up board positions in MABIM (Hungarian BIM Association).
  In 2019, the “BIM SKILL LAB” was formed and BIM-related research branched out into the field of Biomedical Engineering. Over 2020 and 2021, the research team received significant technological developments due to the PAKS2 project.
  We continuously provide tuition in BIM for graduate and post-graduate students and, as of 2021, it is possible to join our BIM Engineer Postgraduate Specialist Training programme. Students can also learn about BIM as a specialisation offered as part of our engineering training programme.
