We Connect, We Belong: Alumni Fest 2026 – Stories of Change, Connections for Life

On 17 June 2026, the Europa Ship welcomed the international alumni community of Hungary for the second Stipendium Hungaricum and Hungarian Diaspora Scholarship Alumni Fest. Bringing together newly graduated alumni, representatives of Hungarian universities, and organisations supporting international students and graduates, the event celebrated the connections, experiences, and stories that continue long after graduation. With panoramic views of Budapest along the Danube, the gathering embodied the spirit of the event’s motto: "We Connect, We Belong."
