A conference on the ’Safety and Security Related Applications of UAVs in the Home Affairs Sector" was held in the Marble Hall in the Ministry for Home Affairs. The conference was part of the Hungarian Science Day programme. The patron of the event was Sándor Pintér, Minister of Home Affairs.

András Mihály, research associate at the SZTAKI Systems and Control Theory Research Laboratory, who is also actively involved in ARNL research activities, defended his PhD thesis with a prime result.

Self-driving drifting of autonomous vehicles was also the topic of the 12th Students' Forum, where students from the SZTAKI Intelligent Processes research group and the Faculty of Economics of John von Neumann University presented their research. The research is linked to the National Laboratory for Autonomous Systems.

On 20th October 2022, the maiden flight of the brand new DJI M300 drone of SZTAKI (purchased in frame of the Autonomous Systems National Laboratory) was done.

In the framework of the H2020 FLiPASED project, a group of SZTAKI researchers - led by Bálint Vanek - participated in a working visit to Munich. This visit contributed to the fact that the project is getting closer to the point where the researchers/developers involved in the project can dampen the flutter of flexible airplane wings via active control. ARNL researchers are also involved in the project.

The research and development (R&D) projects, developments and results of SZTAKI were presented to the delegation by the Institute's researchers. The American guests were mainly interested in aeronautical and automation solutions, therefore the programme was set accordingly.

Péter Gáspár, Head of the Systems and Control Research Laboratory of SZTAKI, and also the Technical Director of the National Laboratory of Autonomous Systems (ARNL), held his inaugural lecture as an elected Full Member of the HAS on 19 October 2022.

The remaining tasks of the FLiPASED H2020 project were discussed by researchers of Systems and Control Lab at SZTAKI with the participation of representatives from DLR, ONERA and the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

The 247-page publication introduces to its readers the researchers who received a Bolyai Medal and/or a Bolyai Research Fellowship over the past quarter century. It also introduces the members of the Board of Trustees for the mentioned prizes to the readers. Furthermore, the publication draws lessons from the subject period in regards of the scientific research. Then, it summarises the achievements of the researchers concerned.
