Winners of the 2026 Corvinus Research Excellence (CKK) Award 

This year, 50 of our colleagues received recognition for research excellence. 
Budapesti Corvinus Egyetem

The purpose of the Corvinus Research Excellence Award is to recognize the authors of publications that most effectively promote the University’s international visibility, based on publications from the calendar year preceding the award. In 2025, 567 publications by 226 authors met the award criteria. The Corvinus Research Excellence Evaluation Committee followed two guiding principles when awarding the prizes: equal opportunity across award categories and excellence defined by high standards. Consequently, in each category, the top 22% of authors based on their scores received the award. In addition, the CKK ‘Ethics, Responsibility, Sustainability (ERS)” special prize, which is presented to the recipient who achieved the highest CKK score among publications in the ERS subject area.
