The Research Week, which has become a tradition at Corvinus University of Budapest, is organised at the end of each semester, in January and June; the four-day event features plenary lectures, workshops, round-table discussions, consultation opportunities and a wide range of other activities.

Description: The roundtable discussion on the implementation of the University’s research strategy will bring together key leaders and researchers who contribute significantly to the University’s international embeddedness and research performance. The discussion will cover the background of the research strategy, the challenges ahead, the role of doctoral schools and doctoral students, the challenges of internationalization and international research projects, as well as the publication outputs that are key to the success of the research strategy.

Description: Presentation aims to provide an interactive discussion for finding impactful research question in finance or applied economics. Probably 80% percent of research papers submitted to top (D1) journals get rejected because of the lack of contribution. The common mistake among junior faculty is a “search for research gap”, often wanting to justify to editors what they are doing is relevan, connected to outstanding research. However, excessive justification could undermine the contribution of the research. It is always useful to have a target audience. I present three examples of how my coauthors found great research questions in three areas: investment, household finance, and energy finance. Two of the papers presented have been already widely cited not only in academia but also in policy discussion forums by the US housing committee at the US Senate, and by the European Securities Markets Authority (ESMA) and the SEC, as well as professionals.

Description: The reluctance to adopt AI solutions in control systems lies in the fact that AI systems derive their knowledge and outputs from experiential learning, which constitutes “soft” knowledge. In control systems, reliance on experiential evaluation for demonstrating global stability and control performance is not acceptable. What is required instead is a precise, tractable and verifiable proof that the control strategy ensures system stability under all conditions. Therefore, the lecture focuses on how to integrate Linear Matrix Inequality based control design and analysis into AI frameworks, enabling the rigorous mathematical verification of stability and performance metrics for AI-controlled systems.

Description: This session will focus on smartphone research conducted with Roma individuals in 2023. On the basis of previous anthropological research we aimed to assess the extent of municipal bulky waste collected in lomtalanitás by informal Roma collectors. This was perfomed by smarthones recording sizes of waste piles and the frequency of transporation of waste material for further use. The method is experimental and as such subject to refinement.

Description: The aim of this session is to introduce the recently established Centre for Contemporary Asia Studies within the Corvinus Institute for Advanced Studies (CIAS). We will highlight some of the centre’s key initiatives in the fields of geopolitics and security in the Indo-Pacific region, regional competition in the Indo-Pacific, and the evolving global order. During the session, we will present the centre’s flagship project, the Palgrave Handbook of Geopolitics and Security in the Indo-Pacific, which focuses on the connections between East, South, and Southeast Asia on a national, regional, and global scale.

Description: Today everything is green. Or at least should be. However, aiming for sustainability means highly different directions for different actors. It is not only the definition of sustainability that is highly contested but what we should do about it. This presentation attempts to provide an overview of these different shades of green trying to facilitate the understanding of the cacophony in proposed and implemented “solutions”. From the light green of market solutions, through the grass green of institutional solutions to the deep green of radical demands, we will see how these concepts evolve and the rationale behind them.

Description: “If it bleeds, it leads” – one of the famous mottos of news production captures the inseparable connection between violence and the news genre. The news media are the primary source of information on complex matters, such as the violent acts that the session covers. Not only do the media select the issues they report on, but they also choose the ways in which to do so, which is central to the concept of framing. One of the most powerful framing tools are pictures. However, while reports on violent acts appear daily, restrictions on their explicit visual depiction make the framing mechanisms of violence in online visual discourse less clear. Thus, the question arises: which motifs substitute explicit violence on images accompanying news articles? The session presents a theoretical and practical framework that reveals how reports of violence are illustrated in such restricted circumstances, with a special focus on contemporary cases in the age of the “homo videns”, the man who watches and is informed by images (Sartori, 1997).
