The University has established the Best Press Partner Award in 2000, which is given from year to year to press partners who have maintained a good relationship with the university and set themselves in for high-level and objective reports about the University of Pécs.

This year the award has been given to László Gungl, editor-in-chief of the Regional Department of the Hungarian National Radio Station (Magyar Rádió) on the ceremony on 9 December. He received the award from Róbert Gábriel, rector of the University of Pécs.
This event is a very good opportunity for all the press partners, journalist, photographers, radio and television partners to gather and have a moment to talk with the leaders of the University of Pécs about the year that is almost over and it is also a wonderful occasion to discuss future plans.
