On 20.05.20.2025, the departmental closing ceremony took place at the Department of Corporate Leadership and Management of the Kautz Gyula Faculty of Business and Economics. Before a delicious dinner, the enthusiastic team celebrated the end of the year with a game, where they had to guess as detectives which colleague was hiding the statements that had been previously collected and presented on the projector. 

There were lots of laughs, surprising revelations and of course a few stories to tell throughout the evening.

The good conversations were enhanced by a delicious dinner, which we would like to thank the Sieger Sport & Gastro Bar team for.

The prestigious Journal of Management Development is launching a new initiative: the creation of an Early Career Review Board (ECRB), consisting of PhD students and researchers who have earned their doctorates within the last five years. The aim is to offer early career researchers valuable experience in the peer review process and insights into the latest developments in management research.

Four colleagues from the Kautz Gyula Faculty of Business and Economics have been invited to join this international board: Judit Bilinovics-Sipos, Irma Potháczky Rácz, Patrícia Horváth, and László Buics. The selection was made on the recommendation of the members of the Editorial Board, which includes members of our Faculty.

ECRB members are expected to review approximately 3–5 manuscripts per year. Emerald, the publisher, provides extensive support and recognition to reviewers through various resources and rewards.

We warmly congratulate our colleagues on being selected for this prestigious professional role!

In May 2025, Dr. Veronika Keller and Dr. Erzsébet Printz-Markó, faculty members of the Kautz Gyula Faculty of Economics at Széchenyi István University, participated in a teaching mobility programme at the prestigious Jagiellonian University in Kraków as part of the CEEPUS (Central European Exchange Program for University Studies) initiative.

The primary goal of the mobility was to strengthen international academic and educational ties and to explore opportunities for joint research and teaching. During their visit to the Faculty of Management and Social Communication, the lecturers presented the Kautz Faculty’s research activities related to tourism, city marketing, and sustainability, as well as shared best practices in supporting student academic societies in Hungary.

On May 9, 2025, the 8th Dawn of Eurasia Conference was held in Budapest.
