The Youth Research Institute, established in 2021 through a collaboration between Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) and the Nézőpont Institute, is dedicated to advancing the understanding of younger generations, particularly within Hungary and the broader Central European region. This initiative reflects MCC's longstanding commitment to sociology, community-building, and fostering inter-generational understanding, especially among young people.
The institute regularly publishes research findings in peer-reviewed international journals and other platforms to share valuable insights into youth trends and issues. Aside from articles, they also put out an annual report on the state of Hungarian youth, full-length books, as well as booklets.
Several events over the course of each year are hosted by the institute that bring together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss youth-related challenges and opportunities. One of their aims is to develop partnerships with similar institutes globally to exchange knowledge and best practices in youth research. Aside from this, education is also a top priority: university and high school level courses, classes and workshops are held throughout the year by the Youth Research Insitute’s staff.
Through its multifaceted approach, the Youth Research Institute aims to contribute significantly to the understanding and development of youth, shaping policies and educational practices that reflect the needs and aspirations of the younger generation.
