He added that, in tribute to his legacy, Obuda University established the Antal Bejczy Center for Intelligent Robotics thirteen years ago, and recognizing the strategic significance of space research, the university founded the Space Lab last year. Researchers at the Space Lab conduct outstanding work in both applied and theoretical space research, contributing to the realization of the university’s strategic objectives.
By signing the Statement for a Responsible Space Sector, Obuda University reaffirms its commitment to strengthening its efforts in space research, space sciences, space engineering, space economy, and space sustainability, as well as fostering international cooperation,” the Rector emphasized.
