The prize was named after Béla Krekó (1915-1994), who taught at the Corvinus predecessor institution, was the founder and head of the University’s computer center, and he also did a lot to renew mathematics education and to create a specialization in economic mathematics in the
1960s. The award was founded by his family and has been awarded annually by the Hungarian Society for Economic Modelling since 2000.
This year’s Krekó Prize was presented to the prize winner by Erzsébet Kovács, professor at Corvinus and president of the Society.
