The University of Szeged has successfully completed its “Smart Systems” research-and-development project.
Running from January 1st, 2022, to December 31st, 2025, the initiative received HUF 1,199,519,969 in non-refundable funding and was coordinated by the university’s Smart Systems and Applied Industrial Mathematics Competence Centre, bringing together 12 research groups in an interdisciplinary effort.
The project’s aim was to pursue safer, more reliable intelligent systems for digital infrastructure, healthcare, industry, and smart cities. Work spanned the fields of software engineering and security (including AI-based detection and repair of bugs and vulnerabilities and safer IoT testing), data processing and AI (such as robust, verifiable neural networks and telemedicine applications), and domain-focused research from medical imaging and epidemic modeling to big-data-driven sustainable urban planning, with a strong emphasis on AI safety and robustness against adversarial attacks.
Over four years, the project, led by Prof. Dr. Tibor Gyimóthy, reported more than 300 international scientific publications and generated over HUF 3 billion in revenue from industry collaborations, over 90% of which came from international partners.
