Since 2018, Beáta Nagy, University Professor has represented our institution as a board member, and from now on the university is the only Hungarian university to participate in the work of the organisation as a founding member, alongside the most important sociological workshops.
For more than 20 years, the European Consortium for Sociological Research (ECSR) has been a non-profit, academic, professional organisation that promotes theoretically grounded empirical sociological research. Currently, more than 100 leading European research institutes and university departments are members of the consortium, and the Department of Sociology and the Doctoral Programme in Sociology at Corvinus have also been actively involved in the work of the organisation for more than 15 years. Now that the ECSR continues its activities in the form of an association, Corvinus is a founding member of this prestigious professional institution. Based in Berlin, the organisation provides a wide range of professional support to ensure that young sociologists studying and working at its partner institutions are in regular contact with key international academic institutions and with each other. They also stand a good chance of applying for the so-called Visitor Grant, which is aimed at visiting a distinguished researcher from a member institution abroad to strengthen professional cooperation. The ECSR actively promotes high quality professional publications: the association publishes the prestigious European Sociological Review (Q1, H: 101) journal, and gives the associated Best Article of the Year award.
