SZENT-GYÖRGYI<br />
MENTORS<br />
”If I go out into nature, into the<br />
unknown, to the fringes of knowledge,<br />
everything seems mixed up and<br />
contradictory, illogical, and incoherent.<br />
This is what research does; it smooths<br />
out contradictions and makes things<br />
simple, logical, and coherent.”<br />
Albert Szent-Györgyi<br />

prestigious scientific journals.<br />

the Szent-Györgyi Students, offering them the opportunity to join their<br />
research groups that provide the required conditions for research. Szent-<br />
Györgyi Mentors also personally assist in training and developing the<br />
young talents, primarily focusing on the importance of nurturing talent.<br />

among his or her foreign partners in the activities of the Szeged Scientists<br />
