| Horizon Widera ERA Chairs | LearnData |
| Duration: 2023-2027 | |
| Coordinator: CORVINUS | Data fuels the digital economy. This demands training new generations of experts on how data is collected, stored, processed, and analyzed. Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB) is working to become a leading business and economics university in Central and Eastern Europe by combining data science skills with expert knowledge in business and economics. The support of the ERA Chair Program will reinforce institutional reforms at CUB designed to transform it into a hub of research and teaching excellence in applied data science, expanding the international attractiveness of CUB through cutting-edge training programs and innovative industry collaborations. We will establish the new Collective Learning Data Lab (CLDL) with the leadership of Professor César Hidalgo, a world-class researcher in data science, economic geography, and network science. By leveraging synergies with outstanding research groups at CUB, the Collective Learning Data Lab is projected to grow into a leading Center for Data and Network Science. This will create an environment for the university to learn key methods and publish in top interdisciplinary, economics, business, and social science journals. The Lab will be a flagship project involving students in experiential data-driven work. Lab members will engage in advising PhD programs and in developing BA specializations and Master programs in social- and business-oriented data science. The Lab will widen CUB’s industry collaborations with data-oriented companies and public policy use cases. Building on Budapest’s strong tradition in network science, CLDL will impact Hungary and Central and Eastern Europe by equipping society with the skills needed to undertake new challenges. |

| Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Actions | ROBUST Crisis Governance in Turbulent Times – Mindset, Evidence, Strategies |
| Duration: 2022-2026 | |
| Coordinator: Roskilde University (DK) | Crisis governance is central to democratic societies seeking to navigate increasingly turbulent times. However, current approaches seek to protect existing systems and practices by building resilience (“bouncing back”), which risks enhancing inequities and heightening turbulence. Building on recent examples from nine European countries, ROBUST identifies a forward-looking ‘robustness’ approach to crisis governance that embraces the need for innovation and adaptation of current practices (“building back better”) as a necessary condition for maintaining the core values of democracy and the rule of law during crisis governance interventions. |

| Horizon 2020 ERC Advanced Grant | NEWORLD@A: Negotiating World Research Data – A Science Diplomacy Study |
| Duration: 2022-2026 | |
| Coordinator: The University of Manchaster (UK) | Science relies on global structures to exchange data whose origins and configuration are still largely unknown. The EU-funded project NEWORLDatA will shape a unique collaboration between research centres across Europe and beyond to unearth the history of these systems, through a unique combination of international relations and history of science perspectives. By mapping past networking patterns, the project will first reveal imbalances in the distribution of data, especially between Global North and Global South countries. It will also chart the international legal infrastructure that supports this uneven data distribution. NEWORLDatA will finally uncover the science diplomacy exercises that have shaped the current global science data exchange system. |

| EIT HEI 2 Capacity Building | ACCELERATE - Entrepreneurship Education in Europe (EEE) |
| Duration: 2022-2024 | |
| Coordinator: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam | The vision of ACCELERATE-EEE is to build capacity at partner higher education institutions (HEIs) to catalyse the development of data-driven entrepreneurial firms in areas such as fintech, medtech, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. This goal is approached through a range of interventions that embed an entrepreneurial culture within partner HEIs, create mechanisms for aligning HEIs with industry best practice and scaling up the provision of entrepreneurial support to a broader range of stakeholders. ACCELERATE-EEE brings together four HEI partners, one intermediary organisation and four associate partners from across European ecosystems. Working together, the partners will leverage their respective ecosystems’ distinctiveness and individual character to achieve synergies as part of an integrated, open and collaborative network. |

| Horizon 2020 MSCA IF | FooDization - Digital transformation: exploring the role of digital data for food new product development |
| Duration: 2021-2023 | |
| Host Institution: Corvinus | FooDization aims to explore how low-tech firms are digitally transformed and to provide a theoretical framework concerning how digital data are employed for new product development. FooDization will adopt an exploratory sequential mixed methods design. Combining methods is needed to qualitatively explore the constructs involved in such phenomenon and quantitatively test and generalize the results to a larger population. |

| Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action | TRADE4SD – Fostering the positive linkages between trade and sustainable development |
| Duration: 2021-2025 | |
| Coordinator: CORVINUS | Trade has the power to produce positive outcomes when the policies which define the rules of the game are framed and designed in a way to promote access to markets, fair prices and standards of living for farmers, as well as alleviating rural poverty and ensuring sustainable farming practices. The main objective of the project is to contribute to build new opportunities for fostering the positive sustainability impacts of trade supported by improved design and framing of trade policy at national, EU and global level, including WTO modernization, increased policy coherence at different domains including agricultural, energy, climate, environmental and nutritional policies. In addition to leading the consortium, the Corvinus team is responsible for the theoretical grounding, exploring and quantifying the links between trade and the Sustainable Development Goals, and for trade-based modeling of social issues. |

| Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action | MEDIATIZED-EU – Mediatized Discourses on Europeanization and Their Representations in Public Perceptions |
| Duration: 2021-2024 | |
| Coordinator: Dublin City University (IE) | The aim of the project is to study how the media discourses are constructed to foster or hamper the European project and how they resonate among the public by focusing on the elite-media-public triangle. It is crucial to reveal the specifics of such mediatization of political discourses on Europeanization across Europe, namely, the so-called Old and New European and EaP countries. The project also provides a cross-country comparative analysis of seven target countries and develops policy recommendations for national and EU policymakers. Corvinus is co-leader of the Work Package on research. Among the major methods are content- and discourse analysis, population survey, elite interviews and civic discussion. Read more here. |
