SZENT-GYÖRGYI
MENTORS
”If I go out into nature, into the
unknown, to the fringes of knowledge,
everything seems mixed up and
contradictory, illogical, and incoherent.
This is what research does; it smooths
out contradictions and makes things
simple, logical, and coherent.”
Albert Szent-Györgyi
Szent-Györgyi Mentors of the Szeged Scientists Academy are researchers,
who engage in internationally highly reputable scientific activities,
supervise their own research groups, and whose works are published in
prestigious scientific journals.
Szent-Györgyi Mentors are committed to participate in the education of
the Szent-Györgyi Students, offering them the opportunity to join their
research groups that provide the required conditions for research. Szent-
Györgyi Mentors also personally assist in training and developing the
young talents, primarily focusing on the importance of nurturing talent.
Szent-Györgyi Mentors also undertake to involve other mentors from
among his or her foreign partners in the activities of the Szeged Scientists
Academy as Szent-Györgyi International Mentors so as to provide
Szent-Györgyi Students with the ability to participate in the projects of
foreign laboratories as well.

Györgyi Students of the Szeged Scientists Academy. They are renowned
and recognised scientists of the University of Szeged and the Biological
