Hands-on-training for students at BNC
Thu, 19 Sep, 2019
BNC participated the Automotive Hungary Trade Exhibition Budapest in 2017 and 2018. As part of the “Tech-together” program, quiz competitions were organized touching a wide range of technical subjects. These competitions were very popular among the attending university students. The most active team of the 2018 competition was the team from the University of Szeged, Faculty of Engineering, the prize of which was a dedicated neutron hands-on-training course at BNC. This course took place on 19 September.
