The 2025 MEB Conference Successfully Held at Óbuda University

The Keleti Károly Faculty of Business and Management at Óbuda University once again organized the Management, Enterprise and Benchmarking (MEB) international scientific conference, which took place on April 4, 2025, in Budapest.

The aim of this year’s conference was, once again, to provide a platform for Hungarian and international experts conducting research in the fields of economics and management to engage in scientific dialogue. More than 70 participants shared their research findings on topics such as the impact of digitalization on corporate governance, sustainable economic development, data-driven decision-making, and many others.

Renowned speakers from Hungary and abroad delivered plenary lectures, and several exciting presentations and professional discussions took place in parallel sessions. A special highlight of the event was the active participation of young researchers, who enriched the program with fresh perspectives and innovative topics.

The full program and list of presentations are available on the official conference website:

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all participants, speakers, and organizers for contributing to the success of the conference!
