Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE)

Eötvös Loránd University is a Budapest-based Hungarian public research university. ELTE is one of Hungary's largest and most prestigious[3] public higher education institutions, having been founded in 1635. ELTE's 28,000 students are divided into nine faculties and research centers around Budapest and along the Danube's picturesque banks. ELTE has five Nobel laureates among its members, as well as recipients of the Wolf Prize, Fulkerson Prize, and Abel Prize, the most recent of whom was Abel Prize winner László Lovász in 2021.

Cardinal Péter Pázmány founded Eötvös Loránd Institution in Nagyszombat, Kingdom of Hungary (now Trnava, Slovakia) in 1635 as a Catholic university for teaching theology and philosophy. The University was moved to Buda in 1770. It was known as the Royal University of Pest until 1873, and then as the University of Budapest until 1921, when it was renamed the Royal Hungarian Pázmány Péter University in honor of its founder Péter Pázmány. When the Faculty of Theology was severed from the university in 1949, the Faculty of Science began its independent life. In 1950, the university was renamed after Baron Loránd Eötvös, one of the university's most well-known physicists.
