We are proud to share that our Corvinus Alumni and now second-year PhD student, Márton Zsuráfszky, presented his research at the University of Siena (Department of Business and Law).

As part of a long-term doctoral mobility programme, supported by the Corvinus University Doctoral School of International Relations and Political Science, Márton is currently spending four months in Siena, Italy.

His research, “Strategic (In)Action – A Configurational Analysis of Education Policy Change in Europe,” examines why and under what conditions education policy change occurs across Europe. Importantly, his work explores the pathways leading to meaningful reform.

Why does this matter?

Policy change doesn’t just happen — it depends on institutions, politics, and context.

Understanding this is key to designing better, more effective public policies.
