The Department of Automotive Technologies at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics once again announces the Safety First! road safety competition, aiming to encourage students to contribute to a safer future of transportation by working on real-world engineering challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The multi-round competition provides participants with an opportunity to develop their own ideas into research and development concepts while receiving direct professional feedback from both industry and academia. A distinctive feature of the competition is that students not only elaborate theoretical solutions but also demonstrate their practical applicability.<\/p>\n

A new element this year is that, alongside teams, individual applicants<\/strong> are also welcome to participate, allowing even more students to test their skills either independently or as part of a team.<\/p>\n

\n

Competition Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Application and abstract submission deadline \u2013 March 13, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

First Round \u2013 March 20, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participants present their proposed solution to a selected road safety problem in a short presentation.
Projects are evaluated by an expert jury based on both the presentations and the previously submitted abstracts.<\/p>\n

Second Round \u2013 May 8, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Advancing teams and individual competitors are supported by industrial and academic mentors throughout the development process. Participants submit a detailed 6\u201310 page professional report presenting their concept and its applicability, supported by model-based analyses where relevant.<\/p>\n

Third Round \u2013 May 29, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the final round, competitors demonstrate the practical implementation of their solutions through a live demonstration.<\/p>\n

Why Apply?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Safety First! competition goes beyond a traditional student contest: participants receive industry-oriented professional feedback, develop their presentation and engineering skills, and build valuable professional connections.<\/p>\n

The competition\u2019s industrial partner, Robert Bosch<\/strong>, participates in the program by providing expert support and jury members, offering students direct insight into industry expectations and potential career opportunities.<\/p>\n

Apply HERE<\/strong> on the Safety First! competition website!<\/em><\/a><\/h3>\n

We look forward to welcoming applicants and working together to shape the future of road safety.<\/p>\n
