Deptartment of Human Rights and Politics — UNESCO Chair
2018.10.29.
On 2 February 2008 an Agreement between UNESCO and ELTE University was concluded to establish a UNESCO Chair in Human Rights at the Faculty of Social Sciences. The purpose of the Chair is to promote an integrated system of research, training, information and documentation in the field of human rights. It serves as a means of facilitating collaboration between high-level, internationally recognized researchers and teaching staff of ELTE University and other institutions in Hungary.
The objective of the UNESCO Human Rights Chair is to contribute to the professional education of social scientists in the field of human rights and to increase awareness of human rights problems in the general public.
The chairholder between 2008–2015 was Professor Gábor Halmai, between 2015–2018 Associate Professor Kriszta Kovács. Since 2018, the chairholder is Professor Balázs Majtényi. After successful evaluation, the Chair was renewed by UNESCO in 2023 for the period 2023–2027.
