On 13 June, Katalin Karikó, winner of last year’s Nobel Prize in Life Sciences, attended the annual summit of the European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH), which took place in Szeged. At the invitation of our institute, she then signed her memoir “Breaking Through – My Life in Science” at the ELI ALPS Facility.

EUGLOH, which is an alliance bringing together nine universities, aims to improve global health. Its members meet annually, and this year’s conference was hosted by the University of Szeged. Apart from Katalin Karikó, the event was also attended by Anne L'Huillier, co-laureate of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics. The leaders and guests of the European University Alliance also paid a visit to our institute.

As part of the visit, Katalin Karikó was happy to sign her book for our staff members. Dozens of our colleagues queued for their signed copy of her memoir, published in Hungarian last autumn. Many colleagues turned up with the English-language version.

Katalin Karikó is also the guest of honour from the University of Szeged at the 95th Festive Book Week. The readers could also meet the Nobel Laureate professor of the University of Szeged in Dugonics tér.
