The 2025 Ludovika Festival, held this spring at the historic campus of the National University of Public Service, has quickly become one of Europe’s most dynamic forums for intellectual exchange and cultural courage. Bringing together guests from Asia, Europe, and America, the event focused on crucial contemporary issues such as sovereignty, identity, leadership, and tradition in the 21st century.
Unlike many modern gatherings, the festival emphasized open dialogue and mutual respect, avoiding polarization and intellectual conformity. A highlight of the event was the official launch of the Ludovika Public Diplomacy Hub, designed to strengthen Hungary’s global intellectual and diplomatic presence through strategic discussions and scholarship programs.
“The Hungarian moment has truly arrived,” declared one leading speaker, highlighting a renewed commitment to values like nation, faith, family, and order.
The festival’s success signals Hungary’s growing role as an active shaper of regional and global conversations, positioning Central Europe as a key strategic axis for the future.
