It is with great pride that we announce that within the walls of the Kaposvár Campus of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE), two professionals who have been committed volunteers of the Csányi Foundation for many years recently received high-level recognition.The work of Tímea Gelencsér and Dr. Péter Gombos is of decisive importance both in university education and in talent management within the foundation.
Tímea Gelencsér, head of the Registrar’s Office at the MATE Kaposvár Campus, was recently awarded the Trefort Ágoston Prize. This award is one of the highest state recognitions for outstanding activities performed in the interests of public and higher education.
Tímea Gelencsér has been assisting the Foundation’s work as a volunteer since 2010. Her expertise in matters of further education and academic affairs is invaluable. She has provided an immense amount of help over the years to students entering higher education and their parents.

The other awardee from the Campus is Associate Professor Dr. Péter Gombos, Deputy Director General of the Kaposvár Campus, who received the “Teacher of the Year” award. This recognition carries special weight, as it reflects the positive feedback and appreciation of the students alongside the professional body.
The diverse activities of Dr. Péter Gombos—as head of the Department of Subject Pedagogy at the Institute of Educational Science, Vice President of the Hungarian Reading Association, renowned reading researcher, and acclaimed creative writer—have enriched the educational and pedagogical work of the Csányi Foundation since 2007.
As an expert, he supervises reading comprehension measurements and selection processes, and through his developmental pedagogical work, he provides outstanding support to mentees in the fields of communication, as well as Hungarian language and literature. Additionally, his work as an author ranges from the stage of the Csiky Gergely Theatre to youth novels, inspiring younger generations.
