Corvinus’ list of potential supervisors for the upcoming University Research Fellowship (EKÖP)

As previously announced, starting from the 2024/2025 application period, the National Research, Development and Innovation Office’s New National Excellence Programme (in Hungarian ÚNKP) and Cooperative Doctoral Programme (in Hungarian KDP) will be closed and replaced by the University Research Fellowship Programme (in Hungarian EKÖP) established by the Government. 

The calls for University Research Fellowships (EKÖP), which will replace the new National Excellence Fellowship Programme, are expected to be launched at Corvinus in the second half of June. 

As part of the program, we mapped out potential supervisors this year to assist first-year students coming from high school and those transferring from other institutions. A questionnaire prepared for teachers and researchers was answered by colleagues who are willing to take on supervisory roles and accept applicants. The list, which is constantly being extended, includes the names of the Supervisors, their research area, and a brief description of their research topic, as well as the classification of their research and discipline. 

The call for proposals will be open soon, and we are awaiting the opinion of the EPSU Council on the draft call for proposals submitted. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to prepare the documentation that will be worth extra points (previously submitted or published papers, competition results, Pro Scientia gold medal or OTDK results, etc.) as in previous years, and to start working with the supervisor on the details of the research plan.
