On September 26, 2025, Obuda University had the honor of welcoming a high-level delegation from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT). The initiative built on the recent visit of Obuda University’s leadership to Beijing earlier this month, where a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the institutions.
The highlight of the Budapest meeting was the signing of a Letter of Intent, confirming both universities’ commitment to long-term cooperation in several strategic areas. These include the establishment of a Confucius Institute with digital education features, a joint Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and a Digital Education Demonstration Center. The framework also foresees faculty exchanges, joint research initiatives, and innovative projects at the intersection of culture and technology.
The delegations were led by Prof. Dr. Levente Kovács, Rector of Obuda University, and Prof. Xu Kun, President of BUPT. Representatives of both institutions engaged in constructive discussions on the next steps of collaboration, supported by the presence of Huawei Technologies Hungary, whose leaders also attended the event.
During the program, BUPT presented its latest research and initiatives on the transformative role of artificial intelligence in higher education, while Huawei highlighted its ongoing partnership with Obuda University. Their presentation showcased the university’s Smart Education Campus project, a global benchmark in intelligent campus networks, and emphasized joint achievements such as the Huawei ICT Academy, scholarship opportunities, and the introduction of Hungary’s first Wi-Fi 7-enabled smart campus.
The visit marked an important step in strengthening academic and cultural ties between the two institutions and reaffirmed their shared commitment to innovation, global engagement, and excellence in higher education.
