One of the year’s most significant milestones was receiving the FISU Healthy Campus Platinum certification. Only a small number of universities worldwide hold this status, and just three institutions in Hungary have achieved it to date. Developed by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), the certification is based on a comprehensive assessment framework that looks at health promotion, mental wellbeing, sport, and sustainability across institutional operations. Platinum status reflects MOME’s alignment with the highest international standards in fostering a healthy university community. 

Several further awards followed over the course of the year. Receiving the Family-Friendly Workplace trademark in all three categories strengthened MOME’s employer brand within the higher education sector, while the BeneFit PRIZE grand award, along with special prizes for healthy nutrition and financial awareness, highlighted the practical link between HR policy and wellbeing initiatives. At the Sport Forum Hungary Awards, MOME placed third for the organisation and effectiveness of its sport and physical activity programmes. Internationally, the Green Campus Label further underlined that sustainability is treated as an institutional priority, both in education and in day-to-day operations. 

Alongside these results, MOME shared its best practices at a number of professional forums. At the Digital Skills Development and FISU Conference organised by the Budapest Business University, as well as at the EMEGY professional forum, Ábel Djogni presented the university’s workplace health promotion and HR–wellbeing approaches. He also spoke at the National Meeting of International Coordinators,   focusing on higher education internationalisation and on how university wellbeing frameworks affect student mobility.    

These priorities were equally present in everyday university life. Throughout the year, MOME offered regular opportunities for physical activity across more than twenty sports to over two hundred students and staff each week. A new gym opened in the halls of residence, the MOME Runners club was launched, ten organised hikes to different regions of Hungary were held, and a multi-day yoga retreat was also organised. The Health Week, fruit days, office massage sessions, and the Balance lifestyle programme all focused on maintaining physical and mental balance. 

Students and staff were also involved in a range of community initiatives. Working with Budapest Bike Maffia, they prepared three hundred sandwiches for people in need, took part in the Nemluxustáska donation campaign, and contributed to two organised blood drives, both drawing strong participation. Each blood drive was accompanied by a comprehensive health screening programme, which saw widespread use among staff. 

MOME’s sport and wellbeing programmes are developed in long-term collaboration with professional partners, including Technogym, BioTechUSA and Heavy Tools, as well as with organisations such as the Association for Healthier Workplaces and the HunActive Association. 

The 2025 results, including two international and six national awards, make it clear that at MOME, wellbeing, health, and sustainability sit alongside education as institutional priorities, with a long-term commitment to its community of students, faculty, and staff.
