At this year's Global Trade and Innovation Policy Alliance (GTIPA) Summit in Warsaw, scholars from the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) took a leading role in shaping international innovation policy. Discover how MCC researchers co-authored the comprehensive "Transatlantic Subnational Innovation Competitiveness Index 3.0" and drove high-level discussions on the global space industry on the world stage
Students from Mathias Corvinus Collegium and Vienna’s Modul University gathered in Révfülöp for their first joint Weekend Academy to explore practical strategies and collaborative solutions for remaining future-proof in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
Professor Zoltán Cséfalvay (MCC) recently debuted his book, "FREEDOM, INNOVATION, PROSPERITY: The Secrets of Success in the Digital Era", at Berlin’s Venture Café. The event served as a tactical discussion on Germany's shifting digital geography.
Our institution proudly represented itself at the 54th EBES Conference in Paris, where six of our talented students showcased their research through insightful presentations. The academic delegation was led by Professor Cséfalvay, who also gave a perseptive presentation with Zalan Horlik about the fintech start-up ecosystem in Europe.
Exploring Innovation, Scaleups, and Talent in Europe
These posters present the latest research on European scaleups, AI startups, and the role of universities and knowledge ecosystems in driving innovation and competitiveness. The findings reveal which cities lead in scaleup performance, AI development, and talent-driven growth. The posters were exhibited at the 16th CogInfoCom Conference, displayed at the Vienna Modul University and during the MCC panel discussion on April 11th.
The CNTF Workshop participated in the 16th Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom), held between 8–11 October in Vienna and Budapest. Members presented their latest research on AI scaleups and knowledge ecosystems, while Zoltán Cséfalvay, György Papp, and Zalán Horlik received the Best Presentation Award for their joint paper.
Artificial intelligence has become one of the defining technologies of our era — shaping education, research, and the economy alike. But while AI tools such as ChatGPT can generate content in seconds, experts increasingly emphasize that the real promise of AI lies beyond mere automation. The key question is not what AI can produce for us, but what it can achieve with us.
On April 16–18, Mathias Corvinus Collegium hosted the 55th EBES Conference in Budapest. The event provided an excellent opportunity for MCC students to present their research to an international audience, receive valuable academic feedback, and gain experience in presenting at a major scientific conference.
