Strictness or flexibility: what is needed for successful digitalisation?

Introduction of Research Management
The aim of the research management office is to support the quality publications of the Corvinus scholars with various means, contributing to the improvement of the University’s research performance and its position in international university rankings.
The Research Management office provides assistance at all levels of the research-publication process: from planning to the implementation of the research, to the writing and publication of the articles.
The primary tool of research support is the Workflow system, that is an online application interface to require financial assistance regarding the publication and dissemination of manuscripts. Our workshops serve the purpose of expanding the professional knowledge of colleagues, by inviting renowned international guest speakers and organizing methodological trainings.
The recognition of achievements and the further financial stimulation of researchers, also takes a central role in our agenda. The annually announced Corvinus Research Excellence Award (CKK) was created, to reward internationally visible, outstanding publications. Research visibility is aided by the quarterly summaries of our publication Quarterly Corvinus Research Highlights, which are at the forefront of the academic plenum’s interest.”

Key Researchers
This time we introduce Sandor Kristály, who came to us from Transylvania, and works on the theory of optimal mass transportation.
Within a few years’ time, we may already see the specific results of the process started by the Corvinus to strengthen international cooperation in research, says Sándor Kristály.
On this occasion we present Andreas Orland, who worked as a researcher at the University of Potsdam and as head of #PLEx (Potsdam Laboratory for Economic Experiments).
“It is simply a great opportunity to focus on research for ten months”, says Andreas Orland from the international research centre of the Corvinus Institute for Advanced Studies (CIAS). Andreas Orland learnt about the opportunity from a teacher at Corvinus.
This time we introduce András Fülöp, who lives in Paris and came back – on a temporary basis – from the ESSEC business school in France to Budapest.
Andras Fülöp heard about the transformation and the reforms going on at the Corvinus, and they made him curious, so he immediately wanted to take a closer look at the direction his former alma mater was taking, he told us. The reason, among other things, is that he was looking for researchers with whom he could work together.
‘Opening and establishing international relations is definitely useful’, says Mladen Domazet. The director of the Institute for Political Ecology in Zagreb was happy to apply for admission to the Corvinus Institute for Advanced Studies (#CIAS) international research centre. He has known Budapest for long, as he was involved in a number of scientific projects here, too. He was a member of the organising board of the 5th International No-Growth Conference, and that was when his cooperation with Dr. Alexandra Köves, associate professor of the Corvinus started.
“I would be lying if I said that I planned a research career, because it was not the case. I was an active climber during my student years, so I was looking for a job where one could easily manage their free time. The researcher’s career gave me that, and I was able to travel to China, Nepal and India to climb mountains and do my work at the same time, because you can think anywhere,” he points out right at the start of the interview, so that no definite planning should be assumed for his progress to the 2021 Corvinus Research Excellence Award in the senior lecturer-researcher category.
“In many ways, MIT was a turning point. A paragraph like this on your CV opens doors. I was awarded a tender after MIT that formed the cornerstone of the ANET research group,” says Balázs Lengyel midway through the interview about one of the milestones in his research career, but it is worth mentioning the amount of work, knowledge and inspiration it took for him to get here.
Balázs’ first role model in his academic career was his own father, who specialises in regional economics at the University of Szeged. Imre Lengyel researches the competitiveness of regions in both Hungary and neighbouring countries, and Balázs has observed his father working intently since his childhood: “He always satisfied his own curiosity, and I liked that very much”.
A significant part of László Csató's research career is focused on sport. Having written a large number of papers on sport-related topics, in 2021 he won the Corvinus Research Excellence Grand Prize. He has become such a well-known researcher that Forbes asked him before the Champions League football final about how to predict the odds with a mathematical model.
Yet he says he doesn't follow sporting events, he's not interested in individual excellence, but rather in the data and the research opportunities that can be derived: “I do not think I am a fan. For example, I don't watch matches at all, but I do follow the scores to some extent.
What does one do at the start of one’s career with a fresh medical degree? The majority undoubtedly start as residents, later becoming specialists, and follow the path paved by the profession. Valentin Brodszky also embarked on this path, but after just one year as a resident, he realised that he felt out of place. In search of a path, he started studying economics at Corvinus University, not expecting at the time to eventually pursue a career in healthcare.
Next in line is Piotr Zmyślony, who has previously worked as a visiting professor at Corvinus, and now he focuses on how digitisation affects the economy and management of nightlife, and how this can be reconciled with a sustainable approach.
With his entry titled Usage patterns of community bike systems, Zombor Berezvai received an Academic Youth Award in February this year. Our website interviewed the Assistant Professor of the Department of Marketing Management at the Corvinus about his researches.
Over the past years, the number of publications issued by Corvinus researchers has grown significantly, but there is still a lot to do in the field of improving international research connections, said the Vice-Rector for Research.
Over the past years, research and publication activities at the University have improved a lot. The best proof of that is the fact that the number of Corvinus authors’ articles of Q1 and Q2 ratings in international journals has grown fivefold within five years. In 2022, altogether 292 such articles were written, and one third of them were co-authored by foreign researchers. This is one of the points in the report to be presented soon to the Senate, analysing the research, publication and international tender activities of the Corvinus.
In the next part of our series, we introduce Kristian L. Nielsen, who came to the Corvinus from the Copenhagen Business School, and focuses on the role of soft power as a power technology instrument in European relations.
It is not necessary to think about joint publications all the time, even a professional discussion with a colleague may give new impetus to individual research, says Kristian L. Nielsen, CIAS guest researcher from Copenhagen.
The invitation of César Hidalgo, a researcher in artificial intelligence and data science, has boosted the international recognition of Corvinus University of Budapest, as thanks to him the institution was able to join the prestigious European Research Area programme, Magyar Nemzet reported. César Hidalgo expressed his pleasure that his work will contribute to the future success of the institution and its students.
Why are there not enough women in the top management of V4 companies, when there a lot of competent and well-trained women? Prof. Dr. Beáta Nagy was asked about the research she conducted jointly with Henriett Primecz.
‘I would like to contribute to make students capable of thinking about complex problems in a complex way’, said the new Master Lecturer of the Corvinus Institute of Global Studies, dr. András Rácz, Russia expert.
Jessie Labov has been an Associate Professor of the Institute of Marketing and Communication Sciences and a Research Fellow of CIAS since February.
Yurii Nesterov intends to advance his research in cooperation with the academics of CIAS as an Invited Distinguished Research Fellow of the Corvinus Centre for Operations Research (CCOR).
Like many of her compatriots, Tetiana Sobolieva, a lecturer at Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman had her life drastically changed overnight by the Russian-Ukrainian war that broke out in February 2022. Referring to a recent Ukrainian survey, Tetiana estimates that more than 50% of Ukrainan researchers relocated due to the war, 15% of whom moved abroad.
