1. Szigetvári reports of personal changes at the department: Péter A. Lázár has retired; the department hires Péter Őri as assistant researcher on NKFIH funds from October for four years and Nathaniel Torres on Lázár’s post; Mária Hanzséros retires at the end of the year; and Szigetvári’s term as head of department expires in June. The two new colleagues are assigned offices: Őri 449, Torres 303.
2. Lázár’s two specialization courses had to be cancelled due to medical reasons, the two intro courses launched by Shbeeb and Xing due to the low turnout of students. The remaining courses have started all right.
3. Den Dikken suggests that the department should consider hosting ConSOLE 2025.
4. G. Kiss asks if doctoral courses could be included in the SEAS Course Catalogue. It is probably better to just list the relevant courses on the website of the programme.
5. Szigetvári offers his help in setting up websites for courses on delg0.
6. Őri’s doctoral defence is to take place in the near future.
