EVE Power Hungary is launching an elective course at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Debrecen covering the fundamentals of battery operation and manufacturing technology. The course, titled “The Basics of Batteries powered by EVE”, will be taught directly by the company’s specialists, bringing real-world industry experience and practical knowledge into university education. The initiative has already attracted significant interest in its first semester, with all 150 available places filled.
Debrecen, September 14, 2026 – The company is launching the elective course for the first time at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Debrecen during the autumn semester of the 2026/2027 academic year.
The English-language course, “The Basics of Batteries powered by EVE,” aims to give students the opportunity to learn about the fundamentals of battery technology, key engineering solutions, and the practical aspects of modern battery manufacturing and applications directly from professionals working in the industry.
A special feature of the initiative is that professionals from the battery industry are becoming directly involved in university education through a dedicated corporate course. The instructors are experts from EVE Power Hungary, who will share their own industry experience and practical knowledge with students.
As part of the launch of the course, representatives of EVE Power Hungary held a professional day at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Debrecen, where students were given a first-hand insight into the topics, practical examples and industry experience they will encounter during the semester.
Géza Husi, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Debrecen, emphasized that Debrecen’s industrial sector has undergone significant development in recent years, with electric vehicle manufacturing and related investments playing an important role.
“We cannot imagine the near future without batteries. At the same time, battery production is more a matter of natural sciences and technology than engineering. However, as soon as a battery is integrated into, for example, a car, phone or camera, it becomes an engineering challenge. For this integration to be as effective as possible, our students need to have a general understanding of how batteries are manufactured and how they work. This is why we introduced this course,” said Prof. Dr. Géza Husi, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering.
“Debrecen’s industrial and technological environment related to electromobility and the battery industry is currently developing rapidly, so local students are in a particularly good position to gain first-hand knowledge of these developments and potentially become active participants in them in the future,” said Dániel Kiss, External Relations Manager at EVE Power Hungary.
Education and research as part of EVE’s corporate culture
Cooperation with universities also plays an important role in EVE Energy’s global operations. The company employs more than 6,500 research and development specialists, spends approximately 6 percent of its annual revenue on R&D, and maintains long-term professional and educational partnerships with several higher education institutions.
The course in Debrecen is a local implementation of this approach, aimed at bringing university education and industrial practice closer together while giving students direct insight into battery technology.
EVE aims to further strengthen its local professional and educational partnerships alongside the construction of its Debrecen plant. The newly launched university course is the first important step in this cooperation, which may be followed in the future by additional courses, internship opportunities, factory visits and joint professional programs.
