 | Mission Statement of Eötvös Loránd University |  |
Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), the longest continuously serving university of
Hungary, was founded in 1635 in the city of Nagyszombat (today Trnava, Slovakia)
by Cardinal Péter Pázmány, Archbishop of Esztergom. It serves the interests of
high quality education and research, building upon the best European traditions.
The mission of ELTE is to preserve and enrich national and universal culture, to
cultivate science and to pass on academic knowledge, as well as to shape and satisfy
the real, long-term needs of Hungarian society and of mankind. ELTE aims to educate
intellectuals with up-to-date knowledge and versatile culture, who
-
can identify and analyze problems, and who are able to propose problem-solving
strategies and bring about responsible decisions;
-
seek consensus, understanding and respecting different cultures;
-
are aware of their individual responsibilities with regard to the future of their
immediate environment, of Hungary, of Europe and of mankind;
-
represent the values of professionalism, solidarity and humanism; and
-
respect universal ethical norms¸ human dignity and the freedom of thought and opinion.
In harmony with all the above and its four centuries of tradition, ELTE aims
-
to offer, through the joint efforts of its members, valuable, up-to-date knowledge,
modern thinking and competitive degrees to its students;
-
to give high priority to programs at Master’s and PhD levels and above; and
to widen the range of inter- and multidisciplinary programs and of courses offered
in foreign languages, as well as programs conducted in partnership with top-ranking
foreign universities,
-
to pursue research, development and innovation activities that are globally acclaimed
and capable of responding to complex social challenges, and which focus on social
and technological issues still to be tackled, and thus to perform its role as a
competitive research university in Europe;
-
to foster the development of talented individuals and to increase the numbers of
highly qualified and productive instructors and researchers by providing them with
an attractive teaching and research environment;
-
to maintain a value-based and efficient relationship with its immediate and broader
context, thus acting as one of the leading university centers of the Central European
region.
Motivated by the conviction that a high standard of teaching at a university is
inconceivable without high-quality research, ELTE aims to represent both sides
of the traditional concept of a universitas, and at a high level: the creative
community of instructors and students (universitas magistrorum et discipulorum)
and the ideal of an institution actively engaged in the pursuit of many scientific
and scholarly disciplines (universitas scientiarum).
The leadership, instructors, researchers, students and all the other members of
ELTE support the realization of these aims through mutual cooperation.
