As you step out as global changemakers, we cannot wait to see the lasting impact you will make in advocacy, policy, and community development worldwide.
Welcome to the alumni family of ELTE!

Nearly 60 participants gathered for a special pre-conference at the European Association of Social Psychology (EASP) conference, organized by Mónika Kovács (ELTE PPK IPPI) and Gabriella Kengyel (ELTE PPK Institute of Psychology and Education, Szombathely). The event focused on the vital theme of "Gender and Intersectionality in Social Psychological Research," highlighted by a fascinating roundtable discussion led by Monika Kovács that explored intersectional approaches to masculinity.

Once again, instructors from ELTE IPPI took the professional lead in organizing ELTE’s week-long Intercultural Training for Higher Education Staff. Held in June under the Erasmus+ program, the training aimed to promote intercultural skills and competencies. It was specially designed for those who encounter diverse cultural settings in their daily work and wanted to take their skills to the next level.

His philosophy is to combine practical assistance with the promotion of intercultural understanding.
