The Katolikus Egyetemisták és Főiskolások Egyesülete (KEFE) was founded in 1990. Its basic mission is to develop an open and responsible intellectual identity and to promote the intellectual and cultural development of Christian intellectuals. The association aims to promote the strengthening of Catholic intellectuals through joint programmes with students in higher education. Over the last two decades or more, the Association has sought to awaken and strengthen a sense of responsibility towards society in young people, which will lead them to participate actively in social life and to show solidarity and helpfulness towards the poor. In recent years KEFE has been involved in organising and running national and local meetings. It also participates in professional and theological meetings and conferences. The members of the Association organise camps, sports events and film clubs for young people (e.g. Bácskai Youth Civil Action Week, Szeged Study Days, Unitas Cup). In addition, the Association implements various competitions that strengthen the sense of belonging of the local people. Volunteers were involved in the implementation of the programmes. It has also organised events for Catholic (and not only Catholic) young people in higher education and is a regular participant in national events (e.g. National Catholic University Students' Meeting).
