Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\nResearch is an increasingly important task of institutions of higher education in management and social sciences. It is through high level research that universities can contribute to the solution of local and regional problems being economic, social or environmental in nature.<\/p>\n
BME GTK has been pursuing research activities since its foundation 20 years ago. These activities have contributed to both the development of its teaching curricula and to the advancement of science in many different fields.<\/p>\n
Research activities at GTK are embedded in the wider context of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and its seven faculties in engineering and natural sciences. As a result, research efforts are often multidisciplinary in nature and focus on the economic and social aspects of innovative engineering solutions \u2013 a must in today\u2019s fast changing societies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Departments and research centres<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Research is conducted in the departments and centres of the Faculty, as well as the Doctoral School of Business and Management and the Quantitative Social and Management Sciences Research Group, which houses interdisciplinary research activities since 2018.<\/p>\n
Typical areas of scientific research at the Faculty include topics related to the management of business organisations, business economics, corporate finance, theoretical economics, applied pedagogy, workplace ergonomics, the regional and business aspects of Sustainable Development, sociology, communication and media studies, the history of science, and argumentation theory.<\/p>\n
The Faculty is also actively involved in the work of more than fifty national and international organisations and institutions through its organizational or individual membership and faculty members take important positions in professional bodies, steering committees and editorial boards.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”View Departments and Centres” style=”3d” color=”default” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gtk.bme.hu%2Fen%2Fresearch%2Fdepartments-and-centres%2F|title:Centers%2C%20Labs%20%26%20Programs||”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

Departments and centres implement a number of research projects both with Hungarian and international partners, mainly within the European Union.<\/p>\n
Collaboration with the engineering and natural science faculties of BME is another key priority for GTK. A shining example of this is the participation in the FIKP project, a Hungarian government financed project aiming at several overarching topics: nanotechnology and material science, biotechnology and health, artificial intelligence and future mobility\/smart cities, water management and catastrophy prevention. Three department of GTK, namely the Department of Business Law, the Department of Environmental Economics and the Department of Sociology and Communication participate in these projects concentrating on the legal, social and sustainability implications of the different issues.<\/p>\n
