A once-in-a-lifetime professional opportunity, an inspiring research environment, and active engagement with more than 400 students interested in science – these are what defined the past four months for Brian Dingmann, Professor at University of Minnesota Crookston, who spent the autumn semester at the University of Szeged as a Fulbright Visiting Professor. During his stay in Szeged, Professor Dingmann conducted joint research with Zsolt Datki, Head of the Micro In Vivo Biomolecule Research Group at the University’s Center of Excellence for Interdisciplinary Research, Development, and Innovation (IKIKK). Alongside his university teaching activities, he also delivered science-focused sessions at several secondary schools in Szeged and the region, in cooperation with the American Corner Szeged. Ahead of his return to the United States on December 11, we spoke with Professor Dingmann, together with Dr. Datki, as part of a conversation touching on intriguing research and memorable personal experiences.
On January 5, 2026, marking the 72nd birthday of László Krasznahorkai – recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Kossuth Prize, and the József Attila Prize – the University of Szeged celebrated its alumnus with a quiz-style Q&A game, offered engaging insights into the author’s work and the Nobel Prize itself, while also promoting reading and encouraging literary curiosity more broadly.
