  • The Mission of Higher Education
    THE MISSION OF HIGHER EDUCATION By Éva Sándor Kriszt Rector Budapest Business School 1. The responsibilities of Higher Education Perhaps the most obvious responsibility of higher education is the education of young (and often not-so-young) professionals. Another very important function is research, and it has other important functions, but here we will be concerned mainly with its educational function. How it can fulfill this function can be measured by examining what benefits it can provide (or more precisely: has provided) to the target group (the graduates). This – the “return of investment” – can be measured by considering the rewards appearing is the form of better jobs, higher remuneration or other forms of appreciation. Some of these can be expressed in monetary terms; others (such as self-fulfilment or more favourable working conditions) cannot be quantified so easily. Universities have always been characterized by intense and extensive international cooperation with other universities. Students have also been recruited internationally. Perhaps the word “recruited” is used inappropriately: students usually came in large numbers from foreign countries willingly and enthusiastically to renowned universities in Italy, Spain and other European countries. The oldest European university was founded in 1158, in Bologna, and the word university: the word universitas was coined at its foundation. Islamic universities were founded even earlier: Al-Azhar University was established in 970 or 972 as a centre of Islamic learning, but its students also studied logic, grammar, rhetoric, and how to calculate the lunar phases of the moon. In the Page 59 Middle Ages Europe saw the birth of several universities: the best known ones are Oxford and Cambridge in Britain, Padova, Siena, Macerata, Naples in Italy, and Salamanca and Valladolid in Spain.

  • Regional Types of Tourism in Hungary
    István Tózsa – Anita Zátori (eds.) Department of Economic Geography and Futures Studies, Corvinus University of Budapest Metropolitan Tourism Experience Development Selected studies from the Tourism Network Workshop of the Regional Studies Association, held in Budapest, Hungary, 2015 Edited by István Tózsa and Anita Zátori Read by Catherine R. Feuerverger Cover by László Jeney ISBN: 978-963-503-597-7 Published by the Department of Economic Geography and Futures Study 2015 1 2 Introduction On January 28-30, 2015 Corvinus University of Budapest hosted the latest workshop of the Regional Studies Association’s Tourism Research Network. The event had been held previously in Izmir, Aalborg, Warsaw, Östersund, Antalya, Leeds and Vila-seca Catalonia. The aim of the RSA research network is to examine tourism diversity from the perspective of regional development in order to identify current challenges and opportunities in a systematic manner, and hence provide the basis for a more well-informed integration of tourism in regional development strategies and move beyond political short-termism and buzzword fascination. In the frame of the network a series of workshops have been organised from various topics of destination management till rural tourism. In the age of budget airlines and increased mobility, the importance for metropolitan areas of positioning themselves in an increasingly competitive environment where the boundaries between international tourism and local leisure are becoming blurred, has increased. Metropolitan areas are highly preferred targets for tourists owing to their diversified and concentrated attractions particularly cultural heritages and up-to-date events as well as to their business environment. They are the focal points of tourism in a lot of regions and countries.
