Reviving the village research traditions of Gödöllő at the Faculty of Economic and Social Science of SZIE

The foundation of School of Economics and Social Sciences (SESS) 50 years ago was not the beginning, but was the continuance of the inwardness of predecessor in title of the University’s previously active institutes. There were valuable workshop of social sciences as the names of contemporary teachers and students have indicated. Weighty scientific researches had been started by the regional problematic from the beginning of the 20th century. The country-wide village-researcher front has evolved from it and our University has joined to it. The aims and inwardness has appeared in wide social layers as it has been a part of our University’s courses and has made and were now used source of sociographic literature. The methods and approaches of former village-researcher workshop are still modern and would be exemplar for the regional-researches in our days. The village-seminar course had started again by the SESS in 2006. The aim of the course is not only to discuss about traditions of village-researches and theoretic questions but also to do practical investigations in the present-day villages.
