I feel deeply honored to be an active member of the Hungarian Research Student Association, which is a motivating, inspiring, and enthusiastic community. KutDiák is, for me, a path where I can challenge myself, discover my hidden abilities, and have a fantastic opportunity to flourish. As a member of the leadership, my goal is to do everything I can to ensure that as many students as possible have the chance to get involved in research, experience its excitement and rewards, and share their results with their peers, with whom they can form lifelong friendships. I want others to experience what I did and to find their place here.
