Resources gained from tenders have been gradually increasing since Hungary joined the European Union. The overall objectives of projects financed by EU tenders need to be closely connected to the goals - like increasing the innovation potential - as it is emphasized by European strategies.Innovation intermediary organizations play a significant role in the innovation process. According to the literature, innovation intermediary organization received high amount of development support between 1991 and 1994. During the years before Hungary joined the EU, the national innovation system was supported by several public and pre-accession funds. Resources...

The industry in East-Central Europe has integrated into global production networks in the last quarter century. Modern reindustrialization is considerably expected in the region, meanwhile it has emerged that those works leaning on cheap labour do not provide close-up perspectives in the long run: the 'upgrading' has become the main objection, namely to join the international industrial diversification. This case study aims to present the current Hungarian footwear industry. The study, based on statistics data and interviews, as well as information collected at the Union of Leather and Footwear Industry, focuses on how the participants of the sector...

The paper focuses on introducing spaces of social exclusion in East Central Europe and interpreting spatial processes of the area within this framework. In order to interpret the multidimensional characteristics of social exclusion, domains and dimensions of the phenomenon are represented while territorial aspects of exclusion are illustrated by the generalization of spatial patterns.Research questions touch upon that what kind of spatial dimensions differentiate territorial aspects of social exclusion in East Central Europe, and what relationships can be discovered between them and other social characteristics. Furthermore, the paper summarize...

Globalisation entails social, political, technological, environmental and cultural cross-border exchange and links, which connect individuals, communities and governments, all over the world. Major environmental problems, such as air pollution, deforestation, the hole in the ozone layer and global warming, have to be solved, because they affect everyone living on earth. Saving ecosystems through the conservation of non-renewable energy sources and the preservation of natural habitats is of primary importance, as well. According to the EU budget for 2014-2020 the cohesion policy invests 325 billion euros in member states in order to be able to accomplish...

Territorial identity and attachment have raised the awareness of researchers from the beginning, as social processes exert a powerful impact on the functioning and also the competitiveness of territories in certain cases. The investigation of these processes is crucial, while citizens, the local population are able to shape and influence the development path of an area. In the perspective of the analysis, social disparities can be defined on one hand from a horizontal and on the other, a vertical or spatial aspect. For the purposes of the current paper, the author used a population survey database of TÁMOP-4.2.2.A-11/1/KONV-2012-0069 project entitled...

In the last three decades the analyses of convergence are in the foreground of the empirical analysis. Most of the empirical works examine the realization of convergence according the GDP indicator. In the author's opinion in some cases the GDP-based analyses do not indicate the changes of the social processes. That is why the author suggests in this recent research the use of a complex indicator to measure the inequalities of the life quality. The aim of the analysis is twofold. First to examine the spatial characteristics of the life quality compared to the GDP, and second to analyse the neighbourhood relations with the use of spatial autocorrelation...
