Institute of Sustainable Development, Department of Sustainability Management and Environmental Economics at Corvinus
The Institute of Sustainable Development is the centre of research and education related to sustainable development at the University. The predecessor of the Department of Sustainability Management and Environmental Economics has been one of the key players during Hungary’s accession to the European Union by providing a solid scientific basis for the harmonisation of environmental law in the country. Practical work was carried out at the Hungarian Cleaner Production Centre, a member of the UNIDO/UNEP cleaner production centre network with the objective to promote environmental management practices in the business sphere (both SMEs and large organisations) since the late 1990’s.
The Department has an extensive experience organising national in and international scientific workshops and conferences. Colleagues of the Department successfully hosted the 10th European Roundtable on Cleaner Production, the NATO CCMS workshop on ‘Clean Products and Processes’, the annual conference of EMAN (Environmental and Sustainability Management Accounting Network), the annual conference of ISDRS in 2020 (online) and more recently the last meeting of the CEE Chapter of PRME in April, 2024.
