Shortcomings of social innovation definitions and a proposed new definition
Social innovation (SI) research still struggles with problems of definition (Edwards-Schachter and Wallace 2017) and lacks a shared analytical framework and measurement methods. This lack of coherence is reflected in two bold, diametrically opposing views on SI research. „SI is an eclectic area, since differences still prevail also within the same research communities, revealing some […]

Volatile Profile of Bee Pollens: Optimization of Sampling Conditions for Aroma Analysis, Identification of Potential Floral Markers, and Establishment of the Flavor Wheel
Mariann Csóka – Rita Végh – László Sipos Food Science and Nutrition, Vol. 13. No. 1. Paper: e4707 (2025) Abstract The volatile profile of bee pollen samples from Central and Eastern Europe was investigated by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC–MS-O).

Comparative analysis of the CE4 countries’ economic performance
This report compares the economic performance of four Central European countries, namely Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia (henceforth: CE4 countries). Many authors emphasise the similarities between the V4 countries – sometimes even the former planned economies of CEE –, i.e., the former ‘bloc approach’ is still dominant. However, key economic indicators – GDP, productivity, unemployment, […]
Innováció és gazdasági teljesítmény a közép-európai országokban
A tanulmány négy közép-európai ország – az ún. visegrádi négyek (V4): Csehország, Magyarország, Lengyelország és Szlovákia – innovációpolitikáját, innovációs és gazdasági teljesítményét hasonlítja össze. A nemzetközi szakirodalomban sok szerző a még mindig visegrádi országok – sőt, időnként a közép- és kelet-európai volt tervgazdaságok – hasonlóságát hangsúlyozza, azaz a korábbi „blokk szemlélet” továbbra is meghatározó erejű. […]

This paper studies tax evasion and the contribution-benefit link in the context of maternity benefits in Hungary. Earnings and employment patterns suggest pre-pregnancy underreporting, followed by formalization of some earnings and employment during pregnancy to increase benefits. Reported earnings in small, domestic, and less productive firms bunch at the minimum wage before pregnancy and the […]
Social innovations in authoritarian polities: Two contrasting cases in Hungary
Rising inequalities and deprivation have been important drivers for social innovation (SI). We understand SIs as novel initiatives or novel combinations of known solutions, aimed at tackling a societal problem or creating new societal opportunities, applied in practice. SIs success requires enabling institutional framework that facilitate collaborative agency for its design and implementation. However, authoritarian […]
