Other Initiatives
EU Framework 6 Project on Reflexive Governance in the public interest
The main objective of the integrated research project is to outline how to create an interactive and reflexive structure of governance in the federal structure.
The Center participates in two sub-networks. The field research in the sub-network Corporate Governance was concluded in 2009 and now the revision of an accepted journal publication is the most urgent task.
Corporate Governance and Interfirm networks in the wine industry in Europe
The Center participates in another sub-network on "Corporate Governance and Interfirm Networks in the wine industry in Europe". We concluded and submitted our National Report on the Hungarian wine industry. In 2010 the network coordinator and other researchers will visit Hungary to meet several chosen wine-makers and visit cellars that contributed to the report. The Center will organize their program and will participate in the discussions.
TEMPO CSR
TEMPO CSR is a FP7 action programme for elaborating executive education curriculum on CSR. Six European business schools participate in this consortium.
EASY-ECO Evaluating sustainability
FP 6 action porgramme EASY-ECO, a
series of conference and training on the evaluation of sustainable
development, sponsored by the Marie Curie Conferences and Training
Courses Action. The Center organized a major conference in Budapest on 16-18 October 2009 on the
Stakeholder Perspectives in Evaluating Sustainable Development. The
event featured parallel sessions, plenary talks as well as interactive
and participatory group work and provided opportunity for networking and
informal discussions with experts and peers. In 2010 we will prepare a
comprehensive report and conduct another financial audit. Furthermore,
selected papers from the conference will also be published this year in a
volume edited by the Center.
IMPACT
FP7 IMPACT is a project concentrating on measuring social impact and sustainability of CSR activities. Its main objective is to develop CSR measurement methods, defining what incentives to use and how to achieve that public policy framework promote CSR. The Center is involved in three of the seven research work packages, among which we will conduct case studies of several businesses in selected sectors and will also participate in the Delphi analysis, a poll among experts. The first meeting of the representatives of the business schools involved will take place in Nottingham, UK, in March 2010 where the Center will be represented by Peter Hardi. Gergely Radácsi will be also contributing to the social side of the research.
