For students

Both the SeismoLab team and Konkoly Observatory as a whole consider mentoring talents and future researchers an important task. We are happy to talk about our work, possible avenues to research and potential research topics to high-school and undergrad students. We can offer topics for various projects and knowledge/education levels:

  • TDK/OTDK topics (Tudományos Diákkörök, University/National Scientific Student Associations’ Conference)
  • BSc, MSc thesis topics and supervision
  • PhD research plan and supervision
  • ÚNKP research topics and supervision in all BSc, MSc, PhD categories
  • ÚNKP supervision in the "Tehetséggel fel!" category for graduating high schoolers who expect to begin their university education
  • Joint projects with other research groups.

We also encourage BSc/MSc students to apply for the annual undergrad demonstrator (research assistant) calls at Konkoly Observatory. An introduction to this program is available at csillagaszat.hu.
