In the Teacher of the Year Award voting organized by the National Conference of Student Governments (HÖOK), Dr. Márk Sólyom won the award in the “Role Model Teacher” category for medium-sized institutions, based on student votes.

In September of that same year, he became a full-time instructor in the Department of History at Kodolányi János University, and in 2021 he was promoted to associate professor, where he teaches ancient history, medieval history, auxiliary historical sciences, and research methodology. His successful research grant application enabled him to conduct OTKA postdoctoral (PD) research between 2021 and 2024. He has published three independent monographs, three translations from Latin into Hungarian accompanied by commentaries and studies, and is a co-author of the “new-generation” history textbooks and workbooks used in grades 5 and 6 of elementary school between 2014 and 2020; he is also the author of numerous studies and a conference presenter. He is a leading Hungarian expert on late antiquity.
