During the session they will examine concrete examples of how weak or incomplete data structures can distort citation analysis, benchmarking, collaboration indicators, and performance assessments, and how structured approaches such as subject normalization and time-aware metrics help mitigate these risks.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how high-quality research data supports reliable search and discovery, enables fair and responsible analytics, and strengthens evidence-based decisions for institutions, funders, and policy makers. The session will also discuss practical implications for research evaluation frameworks, strategic planning, and the responsible use of metrics in a rapidly evolving scholarly ecosystem.

The ELTE–NFI FILMIO University Film Club screening and discussion series continues. We welcome university members from all ELTE faculties.

The film's motto: "In memory of the Scythians, Huns, Avars, and the other peoples of the steppe."

This animated film, based on the most famous Hungarian folk tale, Fehérlófia (Son of the White Mare), and its variants found from the Far East to Austria, explores the theme of the eternal cycle. According to the legend, Fehérlófia (Son of the White Mare) – also known as Fanyűvő (Treeshaker) – is a boy born of a white mare, endowed with superhuman strength. The story is about the boy’s coming of age and initiation: he sets out on a journey to conquer the three-, seven-, and twelve-headed dragons that took over the world after the White Mare’s death, and to rescue three princesses – Autumn, Spring, and Summer Beauty – who have been captured by the dragons. Along the way, he befriends two other mighty men, Kőmorzsoló (Stonecrumbler) and Vasgyúró (Ironrubber), who both join him, and outwits the cunning old man who tempts the boys, Hétszűnyű Kapanyányi Monyók (Sevenwinged Skullsized Gnome).

In 1984, it was selected in Los Angeles as one of the 50 greatest animated films of all time.

The Hungarian Association of Higher Education Archives (MFLSZ) held its traditional annual conference from April 28 to 30, 2026, hosted by the ELTE ULA Savaria Library and Archives.

At the opening of the annual conference, welcoming remarks were delivered by MFLSZ President Zsolt Osváth; Nóra Lenkai, Rector’s Commissioner, representing the ELTE Savaria University Center; Dr. László Szende, Head of Department, representing the Ministry of Culture and Innovation; and Dr. Kulcsár Szabó Ernőné Gombos Annamária, Director General of the ELTE University Library and Archives.

Following the opening ceremony, a roundtable discussion was held on current issues in archival work, after which the professional program focused this year on cooperation among university public collections. Among the conference speakers, Dr. Rita Balla, museologist, and Dr. Krisztina Tóth, archivist, representing the ELTE University Library and Archives, gave a presentation titled The Museum Collection of the ELTE University Library and Archives within the University Public Collection System, during which the achieved results, best practices, and the joint coin catalog – a major milestone – were unveiled. The closing session focused on cooperation between university organisations and university public collections.

In addition to the conference, the program included the MFLSZ annual general meeting as well as exciting collection visits; attendees had the opportunity to visit the ELTE ULA Savaria Library and Archives, the Vas County Archives of the Hungarian National Archives, and the Szombathely Diocesan Library and Archives.

As part of the annual Carpathian Basin educational program, the Sustainability Theme Week and the Green Bridge Volunteer Expert Program, we welcomed groups of elementary and high school students to the green library presentations at the ELTE University Library and Archives between April 13 and 30, 2026.

The goal of the theme week and the Green Bridge volunteer expert program is to demonstrate the complexity of sustainability and to shape students’ perspectives through an interactive program. The collaboration platform provides schools with the opportunity to connect with organizations that are active in the fields of sustainability and innovation and possess real-world practical experience. Through authentic, real-life examples, environmental protection becomes tangible, while also supporting students in their career orientation. As part of the program series, all of our announced dates were fully booked immediately following their publication on the official website. A total of nearly 400 students from twelve public schools attended our tours. Based on the feedback, the children gained new knowledge and had many positive experiences, finding inspiration for environmental protection and lifelong learning.
