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!

The second pilot of project-based learning was implemented under the course “Fundamentals of Event Management,” led by Dr Viktória Kundi at the Kautz Gyula Faculty of Business and Economics. This semester, students developed business plans for the JazzPiknik festival to attract a full-house audience and increase international visitor numbers.

Five teams competed with creative and professional proposals, impressing the expert jury. All participants received a one-day festival pass, while the winning team – Dániel László Biczi, Lili Szeredi, Réka Kemenesi, and Virág Zavadovics – were also rewarded with a prepaid Hellopay card.

Congratulations to all students for their outstanding work and ideas!
