🤔 Unsure about your next step after earning your bachelor’s degree?...

19/05/2026

Last week our Nonprofit Management and Civil Society class left the university classroom behind and visited the inspiring Anyahajó (“Mother Ship”) community NGO, led by professor Eva Kovacs and co-organized with the Corvinus Science Shop 🌿

During the visit, students stepped into the role of consultants and explored one of the biggest dilemmas many volunteer-based NGOs face today: how can a community organization survive and remain sustainable when the people carrying it are constantly changing?

🔹 What happens when organizational memory mostly exists in people’s heads?
🔹 How do you prevent volunteer burnout when the “invisible work” — administration, coordination, finances, opening doors, fixing printers, organizing keys, writing grants — always falls on the same few committed people?

The conversation with the organizers gave students a fascinating insight into the realities of grassroots civil society work. Anyahajó is a fully community-based space built by mothers for mothers — a place where women can create programs, test ideas, support each other, and gradually rebuild professional and social identities after motherhood 🌱

One of the most interesting discussions focused on volunteer turnover and continuity. Many mothers actively participate while they are at home with small children, but once they return to full-time work, they often no longer have the capacity to stay involved in organizing the NGO itself. This creates a constant challenge: how do you bring new generations into the organizing core before the previous volunteers burn out?

Students also reflected on broader questions:

📌 Can an NGO remain informal, organic, and community-driven while also becoming sustainable?
📌 How much structure is needed before flexibility disappears?
📌 How can organizations preserve knowledge, routines, and community culture when leadership constantly changes?

A huge thank you to the Anyahajó team for their openness, honesty, and inspiring reflections. Experiences like this remind us that civil society is not only something we study in books — it is something people build every single day through care, trust, and collective effort ✨

🤖 AI, governance, and the future of administrative innovation
We were delighted to host Minjun Hong (Global Development Institute for Public Affairs, Seoul National University) at the Department of Public Policy, Corvinus University of Budapest as part of our Power, Policy, and Practice seminar series.

In his presentation, “Generative AI Prompts as a Data Source for Administrative Innovation,” he explored a cutting-edge question:
👉 What can the way public officials interact with AI tell us about the future of governance?
💡 The talk highlighted how interactions between public officials and generative AI systems produce “prompt data” — a novel and largely untapped source for understanding how AI is actually used, adapted, and embedded in administrative work.
Using a simulation-based approach, the research demonstrated how such data can reveal emerging needs, patterns of administrative work, and new opportunities for data-driven governance — while also pointing to important limitations.
🌍 The discussion that followed reflected exactly what we aim to foster at Corvinus:
critical engagement with real-world policy challenges, at the intersection of technology, governance, and innovation.
🙏 Many thanks to Minjun Hong for the inspiring presentation and discussion, and thanks to the organizers of this seminar

💡 Big ideas. Real impact.
Recently we had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Peter Raeymaeckers (University of Antwerp) at the Department of Public Policy, Corvinus University of Budapest for a full day of discussions with our Public Policy and Management community.
From a lively research forum to a thought-provoking lecture on welfare state transformation in Europe, the conversations went straight to the heart of today’s most pressing governance challenges.
🌍 What did we explore?
How relationships between governments and NGOs are changing across different political contexts — and how performance, accountability, advocacy, and power are reshaping the landscape.
⚡ One key takeaway:
We are witnessing a shift from trust-based collaboration to more performance-driven systems.
Efficient? Perhaps.
But also risky.
Because when governments stop listening and limit the space for civil society:
• NGOs adapt
• resistance strategies emerge
• and “collaboration” can quickly turn into contestation
Especially in countries with strong and active civil societies.
🙏 A big thank you to Prof. Raeymaeckers for the inspiring exchange and for engaging with us so openly during such a politically and socially dynamic time in Budapest.
🎓 At Corvinus, this is what we do.
Our Public Governance MSc prepares students to understand — and navigate — these complex, evolving relationships between government and civil society.

🇪🇺 Shaping the future of citizenship education in Europe

We are proud to share that Dr. Jekatyerina Dunajeva, faculty member at the Department of Public Policy, Corvinus University of Budapest, was in Brussels this week contributing as an expert consultant to a project of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC).

The discussions focus on the future of citizenship education in the EU — including what should be taught, how it should be taught, and how education systems can better prepare students for democratic participation in complex societies.

💡 This is exactly what defines our department:

our faculty are not only teaching about public policy — they are actively shaping it, engaging with international institutions and contributing to real policy debates at the European level.

🎓 At the Department of Public Policy, students learn from academics who bring first-hand policy experience into the classroom — connecting theory with practice, and local perspectives with global challenges.

🌍 Future-oriented public governance is becoming increasingly crucial — not only in Hungary, but also at the global level.

We are proud to see Prof. György Hajnal, Head of the Department of Public Policy at Corvinus University of Budapest, contributing to these global conversations as a member of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Public Administration (UN CEPA):
https://publicadministration.desa.un.org/intergovernmental-support/cepa

As Rapporteur of the working group on science, foresight, systems thinking, risk analysis, and artificial intelligence for future-oriented public administration, Prof. Hajnal highlighted one of the most pressing governance challenges of our time: how governments can better connect scientific knowledge and policy-making.

💡 Strengthening the science–policy interface and integrating diverse forms of knowledge into governance is a key element of the UN’s global agenda and an essential tool for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals:
https://sdgs.un.org/goals

At its core, this is also about human capacity building — equipping future professionals with the analytical, strategic, and governance skills needed to design effective public policies in an increasingly complex world.

🎓 This is exactly what we teach at the Department of Public Policy.
If you want to understand how governments can use evidence, foresight, and innovation to address future challenges, study with us at Corvinus.
