Projects
1. Livelihood strategies of the Moldavian Csango communities (OTKA 1997-2000)
The main research objective of the research "Livelihood strategies of the Moldavian Csángó communities" was to analyse the life strategies of the Moldavian Csango communities in Romania. The research showed that in the 1990s a process of re-peasantation was observed in these communities.
2. Social assessment of thermo-decomposition technologies (TÁMOP-4.2.2.A-11/1/KONV-2012-0015 2012-2014)
The project investigated the social impact and acceptance of different thermo-decomposition technologies. It has been found that there are community and communications methods that can help the uptake of these technologies.
3. The Situation of Garden Plots And The Success Of The Garden Plots Programme (MATE 2023)
This programme examined the situation of garden plots, including the changing functions of them and the emergence of new functions such as property speculation.
