Human connection has never been more important – We announced the 2026 Scholarship recipient of ‘Future Leaders’ Program

András Aschenbrenner, a student of Széchenyi István University, has been awarded the 2026 scholarship of the BCSDH “Future Leaders” Program. The final took place on 28 November 2025 at E.ON Hungária Zrt., where a professional jury selected the winner from seven finalist applications.

Hungary’s unique “Future Leaders” Program equips participants with comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge, proven business solutions and a diverse professional network, enabling them to become change leaders and to achieve meaningful, strategic-level impact in their field of operation, at company level and in their personal lives through a new way of thinking.

Since 2015, the program has, each year, included the participation of university and college students thanks to the support of sponsors, creating opportunities for them to acquire in-depth knowledge of sustainability, global and national trends, and corporate practices already during their studies.

In the final, András Aschenbrenner (Széchenyi István University), András Csorbai (Budapest University of Technology and Economics), Péter Rácz (Budapest University of Economics and Business), Csaba Rózsa (Budapest University of Economics and Business), Emma Szabó-van der Voort (Eötvös Loránd University), Gabriella Tóth (Budapest University of Technology and Economics), and Bendegúz Sándor Vécsei (Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences) presented their work. During the application process, the students presented their well-developed proposals aimed at making their universities more sustainable.

This year’s professional jury included Zsuzsanna Károlyi, Head of Brand and Marketing at E.ON, Tímea Pesti, CEO of Ayvens, and, on behalf of BCSDH, Irén Márta, Director, and Zita Szederkényi, Program Manager.

We thank the jury for their valuable professional work and congratulate all participants on their high-quality submissions!
