Brief history
Shortly after the millennium, the Marketing Institute, established in 2000, conducted research in two areas: regional and settlement marketing (István Piskóti) and eco-marketing (Szabolcs Nagy), with the support of the Higher Education Research Development Fund. In 2006, we started to organise the research activities of the Institute around Research Competence Centres as research communities/workshops led by colleagues with expertise in the respective topics. Thw following research centres were created:
-
Business marketing (István Piskóti)
-
Eco-marketing (Szabolcs Nagy)
-
Sales and Trade (László Dankó)
-
Region and city marketing, city branding (Helmuth Schupler)
In 2008, the name of Eco-marketing Research Centre was changed to Environmentally Conscious Marketing Research Centre. The members of the research centre disseminate their research results in national and international journal articles, textbooks, book chapters and participate in prestigious international conferences.
