BUDAPEST 23 May 2019 – Philippine Ambassador to Hungary Maria Fe T. Pangilinan met with Corvinus University officials to participate in a book project entitled “Women Who Make a Difference. The Changing Face of Diplomacy in the 21st Century” on 11 April 2019.
The book project is based on Professor of Spatial Development and Regionalization Dr. Éva Blénesi’s interviews with lady ambassadors accredited to Hungary concerning an envoy’s professional and personal lives and their views on the role of women diplomats in a globalized world.
Ambassador Pangilinan and the university’s International Studies Institute-Faculty of Social Sciences and International Relations Dean Dr. László Csicsmann also discussed developments in line with Philippine-Hungary Educational and Scientific Exchange Programme, as well as Corvinus University’s programs and activities.

It is one of the major public higher education institutions in Hungary having prominent alumni, Hungarian or other nationals, including Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto. There are currently two Filipino PhD scholars enrolled in Corvinus under the Stipendium Hungaricum programme. END
