Facilities and Infrastructure

The Central European University (CEU) has a rich library which offers books and journal collections in many fields of interest, including mathematics and its applications. Lately, an additional departmental library has been organized to offer our students some of the most important books, including several copies of textbooks which are frequently used by our faculty. Furthermore, the Renyi Institute (which is close to our departmental offices) has one of the richest mathematical library in the region, with about 40,000 volumes and 350 periodicals. There are many other libraries in Budapest which are freely available.

CEU has classrooms, study rooms, and computer labs. They are equipped with the usual facilities, including blackboards, computers, overhead projectors, printers, scanners. There is an IT department which is responsible for the overall soft- and hardware development, maintenance, and acquisitions. A significant portion of the university budget is used every year to maintain and develop IT facilities in accordance with the standards of research-intensive universities. In addition to CEU's computer resources, our students and faculty have free use of the Renyi Institute computers.

Our students can benefit from the very rich cultural and scientific life of Budapest. There are several universities in Budapest, in particular the Eötvös University (ELTE) and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). They organize frequently seminars and conferences. Our department is already integrated into this scientific environment. We also organize seminars and workshops.

CEU has a Residence Center where students may live. This is essentially a modern hotel, with a restaurant as well as conference rooms, swimming pool, sauna, fitness room - all freely available.
