MTA TK "Lendület" Research Center for Educational and Network Studies (RECENS) Details
RECENS is a research center led by Károly Takács, conducting high quality research with a primary interest in the interrelated dynamics of social networks, cooperation and competition in various social contexts. RECENS is part of Centre for Social Sciences of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. It is supported in the framework of the "Lendület" Program of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences that is a prestigious grant for establishing new research groups in cutting-edge areas. RECENS is located in Budapest, Hungary in the beautiful Buda castle. We are located in a historical building with a pleasant courtyard. It is a peaceful and relaxing environment, which provides ideal conditions for research in the heart of a vivid city. The building complex is dedicated purely for research: no students are around and no noisy breaks interrupt intense concentration of work.We have our "own" corridor in the building that RECENS shares with scholars from sociology interested in social network analysis. Regarding the academic environment, we organize our seminar series together with the Center for Network Science at CEU (incl. Balázs Vedres, János Kertész, László Barabási). For the seminars, we invite outstanding scholars from Hungary and from Europe. We have also good connections to other research units that are strongholds of network science and social network analysis in Hungary. We participate in an ECRP consortium that meets twice a year and discusses recent developments in RSiena and ERGMs (recent meetings were in Ljubljana, Turku, Barcelona, and Budapest). We invite guest researchers time to time who work on closely related projects and collaborate with us. We organize a reading group weekly where we discuss the most recent breakthrough papers published in leading journals. Next to the PI, our own research group includes young and talented scholars (postdocs, PhD students, and selected Master students).
